According to Alan Shearer, Chelsea's title chances this season are not set in stone. Despite their strong start and impressive goal tally, he believes they may not be able to maintain this level of performance throughout the entire season. Shearer, along with many other pundits, predicted that Chelsea would struggle after a chaotic transfer window and the arrival of new manager Enzo Maresca. This belief was further solidified after their defeat to Manchester City on the opening weekend. However, Chelsea has only lost one game since then and has emerged as a serious contender for the Premier League title.
With 34 points from 16 games, Chelsea currently sits in second place, trailing behind Liverpool by two points and ahead of Arsenal by two points. Shearer, while acknowledging Chelsea's impressive form, still believes that Liverpool will ultimately come out on top. He credits Liverpool's manager, Arne Slot, for the team's success and praises the depth and options they have in every position. Shearer also points out the surprise of Manchester City's struggles this season, making it difficult to predict how the rest of the season will unfold.
On the other hand, David Moyes, former manager of West Ham, is backing Liverpool to win the title as well. He attributes their success to Slot's smooth transition into the role of manager, replacing the beloved Jurgen Klopp. Moyes also notes the strength and scoring ability of Liverpool's team, although he does predict they may face some challenges along the way.
Gary Lineker, former England striker and host of Match of the Day, is also in agreement that Liverpool will come out on top this season. He believes that it is time for them to reclaim the title that they last won in 2020.
As the season progresses, it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can prove Shearer wrong and maintain their title charge, or if Liverpool, with their strong and deep squad, will secure the Premier League title once again. Up next, Liverpool faces a tough match against Tottenham while Chelsea and Arsenal take on Everton and Crystal Palace, respectively.
