Chelsea has numerous options upfront and will be very dangerous said Andy Townsend

The former Chelsea midfielder, Andy Townsend feels that the availability and squad depth of Chelsea makes them one of the main clubs to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

He expects Frank Lampard and his side to be very dangerous to face as almost all the players are in red hot form. After getting his job last season as the Chelsea manager, Lampard secured the top four of the League despite the transfer ban and Eden Hazard’s departure. This season, he was backed by the club owner and bought in talented players in this summer transfer window.

All the new faces have now adapted more or less and started firing on all cylinders with Werner, Tammy Abraham, Ziyech and Thiago Silva all delivering impressive performances

The Blues coach has enough reason to be confident of going for major success across Europe. Moreover, players like Kai Havertz and Christina Pulisic is yet to hit the ground running for the club this campaign. These two will further increase the attacking threat that Lampard possesses.

“Chelsea is going to be dangerous,” former Blues midfielder Townsend said to the Premier League Productions.

“They have got so many good options in those forward positions.

“If you think about any team when you are struggling in the Premier League, normally when you are struggling you are thinking ‘we can’t score a goal, we haven’t got enough pace in the forward areas, we haven’t got enough options’. Chelsea have got it everywhere – even full-backs are flying into the last third.

“It’s now just about Frank keeping them all right, keeping them happy, as best he can, and let them go and strut their stuff. They are very good.”

The Blues has recently defeated Newcastle United in a 2 goal margin and that has put them to a nine-match unbeaten record across all the competitions. They are breathing on the shoulders of Tottenham, who are currently in the Premier League top spot.

They will face Mourinho Tottenham Hotspur who are also on an incredible run as well and that match will gonna be decisive for the long journey ahead.
