Liverpool made a strong start to the 2023-24 Premier League season, with five wins from their first six matches. Their only other result was a 1-1 draw with Chelsea on the opening day. Since then, the Blues have endured a difficult spell, with just one win in their six league matches.
Despite their poor form, Jurgen Klopp believes Chelsea have a 'massive advantage' over Liverpool in the title race, mainly due to their lack of European football this season. Along with Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino's side are not competing in any European competitions, enabling them to focus their efforts on the Premier League.
"Chelsea and Tottenham have no European football," Klopp said on Friday. "They have the whole week to train while others travel. It's a massive advantage. Getting into the Champions League this year will be a massive, difficult task because they will be well rested."
Chelsea's big summer spending splurge of £434.5m has not paid off yet, but Klopp believes it won't be long until they start to reap the rewards of their investment. Arsenal are also considered to be one of Manchester City's main rivals for the Premier League title, making it a three-way race for the top four this season.
