JAKARTA - Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp called Chelsea the favorite team to win the English Premier League this season. The strength and depth of Frank Lampard's squad is key.
Lampard has led Chelsea's project in rebuilding their squad which cost £ 220 million or around Rp.4.16 trillion in the summer transfer market. After a rocky start, Chelsea are now 16 games unbeaten in all competitions.
A 3-1 win over Leeds United at Stamford Bridge on Sunday 6 December propelled Chelsea to the top of the table with 22 points. Chelsea overtook Tottenham Hotspur and defending champions Liverpool who were only one point adrift and will only play on Sunday and Monday morning WIB.
"If I watch a football match today then Chelsea, to me looks like the favorite," Klopp told reporters, quoted by Reuters ahead of the home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"They have the biggest squad. Great players played well together after a bad start. And they played the full game."
"They have a tremendous opportunity to change in game and make changes from one game to another. So that's it."
