- Manager insists his team can challenge for next year’s title
- Chelsea visit Liverpool in Premier League on Thursday
Thomas Tuchel believes Chelsea are capable of reaching the standards set by Liverpool and Manchester City in the past four years but the manager knows there is no guarantee he will have as much time to prove himself as Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola were given.
Chelsea have lagged behind the leaders since winning the Premier League in 2017 and Tuchel, who replaced Frank Lampard on an 18-month deal in January, accepts that challenging for the title next season will be hard. Although his side are a point above sixth-placed Liverpool before they meet at Anfield on Thursday, they finished 33 points below Klopp’s champions last season and are 21 points below Guardiola’s City at the top of the league.
