“So far I am having so much fun watching this Chelsea side play this season. Full of movement, goals,well structured off the ball and better organised networking. They could do something this year. Don't bet against them. #Chelsea,” he wrote on his official X account.
The Blues have won four, lost one, and drew one in the league this season. They currently sit third, pending the Liverpool and Aston Villa games later. According to Stat Muse, they have scored a league-high 15 goals.

Chelsea has not won the title since the 2016/17 season under Antonio Conte, and they have a real chance this season if they keep up with Manchester City and Arsenal.
