Frank Lampard Ranks Chelsea’s Top 4 Chances Under Enzo Maresca, Arsenal and Liverpool as Man City’s Main Rivals
Frank Lampard has expressed his admiration for Enzo Maresca’s strong start at Chelsea, suggesting that the club is now in a “good position” to compete for a top-four spot in the Premier League.
After several years of upheaval at Chelsea, including managerial changes and an overhaul of the squad, Lampard is optimistic about the club’s future under Maresca’s leadership.
Chelsea’s recent struggles saw them finish sixth under Mauricio Pochettino last season and 12th in the 2022/23 campaign. However, a sense of optimism has returned to Stamford Bridge with Chelsea currently sitting fourth in the table, showing signs of revival.
Cole Palmer has been pivotal to Chelsea’s resurgence, with standout performances, including his historic four first-half goals against Brighton.
Lampard, a former Chelsea manager and legendary player, sees the potential in Chelsea’s young squad, particularly in the attacking areas, but acknowledges that consistency with such a young team can be challenging.
Lampard also pointed out that, after years of transition, Chelsea are in a position to challenge for a top-four spot and compete where the club traditionally belongs.
He believes the club’s strategy of investing in young talent is starting to pay off.
Lampard further shared his thoughts on the wider Premier League title race, citing Arsenal and Liverpool as the primary challengers to Manchester City’s dominance.
He noted Arsenal’s depth and consistency over the past two seasons, placing them as key competitors, and also mentioned Liverpool, despite the changes under Jurgen Klopp, as a team that could still compete at the top level.
Overall, Lampard’s comments reflect growing confidence that Chelsea is on the right path under Maresca, while also recognizing the strength of other Premier League contenders.
