Chelsea went down to ten men in the first half and played an entire half with a man down against an in-form Liverpool team at Anfield. After an early barrage of shots from distance, Tomas Tuchel’s side handled the Liverpool attack well as they were well-drilled at the back.
Neville has explained that Chelsea have a toughness about them this season. He added that the addition of Saul Niguez on deadline day only makes them a better unit.
Chelsea are expected to challenge for the Premier League title
Chelsea have added one of the best forwards in the world in Romelu Lukaku, something they missed last season.
Tuchel now has a quality striker at his disposal as well as more depth in midfield following Saul’s arrival. Resultantly, he will hope his Chelsea side push Manchester United and Manchester City for the Premier League title this season.
The Blues made a statement of intent by holding Liverpool for an entire half despite playing with 10 men after Reece James’ sending off. The result and performance will give them more confidence that they can compete with even the best of teams.
