Enzo Maresca fears Liverpool could be ‘impossible to catch’ in Premier League
Chelsea boss explains why Liverpool will be difficult to beat this season
- Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca believes it will be "impossible" for any team to stop Liverpool from retaining the Premier League title, citing their strong start and significant transfer spending.
- Liverpool currently holds a five-point lead at the top of the table, having made an unblemished start to their title defence.
- Chelsea are already seven points adrift of the leaders after a draw with Brentford and a defeat to Manchester United, extending their winless run to three matches across all competitions.
- Maresca highlighted Liverpool's substantial summer investment of more than £400 million, including record-breaking deals for Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, as a clear indication of their intent.
- Chelsea faces Lincoln in the Carabao Cup, with Cole Palmer expected to be unavailable due to a groin injury, and Maresca plans to field academy players while cautioning against underestimating their League One opponents.
