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.
Then why Arsenal is behind Chelsea right now? Chelsea has a quality to win Premier League in this season, don't underestimate them, what you should underestimate is Manchester United.
Joao Felix isn't even a great player, he was only good in Benfica, now his quality is nothing different to Ligue 1.
Although most people mock Nicolas Jackson and he's in a meme, but people should know the fact Jackson is the best striker in Chelsea, better than Nkunku and Felix.
