Chelsea should be included as one of the conteders which are favorites to win the title but we still can't put them at the front of the most favorites, Liverpool has shown better quality just alone in the first three matches played, Chelsea with their recent performance are good contenders but Liverpool are the problem they will face to have that dream come true. It is about placing high hopes, not that Chelsea are incapable of deleting everything and winning the title.
Liverpool can only stop Chelsea if they end up meeting and they prevail against them. When there is a team that is showing vigorous resistivity to be outshined, having an head to head match against them and making sure you win the match will create fear in them and give you more confidence of victory in that season. Chelsea has shown great performance but I know with time, they will need to maintain that consistency before people see them more in the position of a league title rather than just false hypes without any result in the long term.
