Chelsea defender Thiago Silva has claimed that he is “certain” the Blues will be in the Premier League title race next season. It comes as Thomas Tuchel ’s men look certain to finish the campaign in third.
It could have been a much tenser end to the season for the club, who set the early stages of the season alight with some impressive displays. Chelsea had set the pace for the Premier League, but form dropped off come the new year.
The title chase had become a two-horse race, while the Blues turned their focus to other competitions and silverware. When discussing the dominating form of Liverpool and Manchester City, Tuchel hailed both back in March, saying: "The problem is they [City and Liverpool] are also on a run since a long time. They are like three years on a run. I have the feeling, it seems like they are three years on a run, and it’s like our 13 games is not enough."
