Chelsea’s defeat at Leeds last weekend had the obituary writers claiming the club had already deteriorated under its new owners.
The manner of the win yesterday against Leicester with 10 men suggested to me this is a group of players very much on board with its manager Thomas Tuchel.
I actually think they are going to be closer to Manchester City and Liverpool this season, not further away.


The character and quality suggests the Leeds game is a one-off and they will be competitive.
