In round 6 of the Premier League, Chelsea hosted Brighton at home. Despite being behind early, Enzo Maresca and his team still successfully came back to win 4-2. Midfielder Cole Palmer was the most impressive, scoring all 4 goals for the home team.
The win over Brighton helped Chelsea consolidate their fourth place, just two points behind leaders Liverpool. They also have the best attack in the Premier League with 15 goals, one more than Man City.
Former player O'Hara believes that Chelsea can be a team to compete for the Premier League title this year, according to talkSPORT: "Chelsea look very good. Cole Palmer is really great to watch. Every time he gets the ball, he creates something.
Chelsea are a team now. I don't care what anyone says. Everyone criticised them at the start of the season for what they did and how they treated their players. It seems they've done the right thing. They've got a great squad.
They can absolutely fight for the title. They are excellent.”
Against Brighton, Chelsea still left many concerns in the defense. In the 2 goals conceded, goalkeeper Robert Sanchez was at fault. The Blues' 4-man defense is also considered not to be able to create enough peace of mind.
Therefore, former Chelsea player Jason Cundy believes that the Blues' goal is only the top 4. "We are not a title race team. Chelsea is a team that can win big against Brighton, then lose to Forest next weekend and lose 2-1. The last time we won the championship, we had Hazard, John Terry and Petr Cech in goal.
"It's hard to win the championship, but the top 4 is a feasible goal. Overcoming Arsenal and Man City at this time is still too much. Chelsea is not ready to win" - Jason Cundy said.
