In what will disappoint Tottenham fans, Eden Hazard has revealed that he expects Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool and Arsenal to compete against Chelsea for the Premier League title this season.
As Spurs narrowly missed out on Premier League success for the past two consecutive seasons, many believe that they will once again be a dominant force this season but in Hazard’s eyes, that will not be the case.
While talking about the teams that could challenge his side for Premier League success this season, Hazard said, “It’s not just one team, I think all of the teams have got really good players: Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Man City, and good managers as well. So we will see.
“I think this year will be no different from the previous years, in the sense that every year it is difficult – especially when you play in many competitions. This year we have the Champions League as well and it is not easy to succeed in multiple competitions.
“But we will do our best and we have got depth in our squad so sometimes maybe one or two players can rest so they are 110 per cent for the next competition.
“We just want to win as many trophies as possible, for me personally I haven’t won the Champions League so maybe that one would be a little bit more special, but I would prefer us to win everything.”
It was rather surprising that Hazard named Arsenal as one of the possible contenders considering that Arsene Wenger’s side are no longer the force that they once were and have started the season on a bad note after losing two out of their three matches thus far.
This season is expected to one of the toughest in Premier League history considering that many sides have spent millions on developing their sides this summer.
