if you ask me, Chelsea has a bit of a chance of winning the title because their material squad is not good enough to compare with Liverpool. Maybe their squad looks balanced when compared with Arsenal and Manchester City (at the moment when some of the players are injured). But when compared directly to Liverpool, Chelsea's squad is a bit weak, and Enzo Maresca it also not so good at team management when placing player positions. Cole Palmer should be a little bit behind so that the opposing player doesn't realize him if he comes forward suddenly. So when I look at him now, he's too up front, so the opponent defender knows and guarding it strictly.
Comparing Chelsea to Liverpool, Arsenal or Manchester city at the moment is like a mockery in my opinion. It's savagery linking Chelsea with title race despite their bit of improvement. Arsenal and Manchester city are in balance now with their key players injured but I still don't see Chelsea near them in term of performance. When we talk about squad depth, of course Chelsea is up to the task but when performance is involved, they're completely out of discussion when these three clubs are being mentioned.
Maresca is not yet getting his team selection properly or perhaps he's playing favoritism card and if that's the case, he will not go far managing Chelsea. Imagine having someone like Felix in your squad but always keeping him on the bench even when he might have impact on the game.
