JAKARTA - Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel believes his team has everything it takes to beat Liverpool in Week 29 of the Premier League match when they travel to Anfield on Thursday local time.

"We always have the chance to win every game because we have confidence, good form of play, we have everything to win against anyone, and this will be a difficult opponent," said Tuchel quoted by Antara from Chelsea's official website on Wednesday night.

"At the same time, you can also lose every Premier League match, because this is the toughest competition," he added.

Tuchel deserves confidence considering their opponents, Liverpool, will almost certainly fail to defend the Premier League title after starting 2021 in the worst possible way.

Even since the turn of the year, Liverpool have not recorded a win at home in five games, four of which have ended in successive defeats.

On the other hand, since Tuchel took charge, Chelsea are unbeaten in seven Premier League matches, four of which they have won.

"They dropped points recently, some deserved, some didn't and had more to do with the unlucky ones. They remain one of the best teams in Europe, with one of the best managers," said Tuchel.

"There is no doubt about that, but we are confident enough to go there and make the necessary preparations to win, namely the best performance," he concluded.

The boss is looking forward to facing off against a 'benchmark' side 👊

Chelsea is currently in fifth place with a collection of 44 points, one point and one strip above Liverpool.

The winners of both teams will certainly take over the top four of the standings, but Chelsea only need a draw to overtake West Ham United.
