After an exciting midweek round of Premier League fixtures, pundit Chris Sutton has been analyzing the depth and quality of Chelsea and Liverpool’s squads.
Chelsea Showcase Squad Depth
Chelsea impressed on Wednesday with a dominant 5-1 victory over Southampton, despite making seven changes to their starting XI. This emphatic win has sparked discussions about the Blues’ squad strength, with many now viewing them as serious title contenders.
Manager Enzo Maresca, however, remains grounded. He has already called for improvement from players like Noni Madueke, who delivered a goal and assist in the victory but was still challenged to raise his game further.
Liverpool’s Squad Under Scrutiny
Meanwhile, Liverpool stumbled slightly, drawing 3-3 with Newcastle United but maintaining a healthy seven-point lead at the top of the table. This performance has reignited the debate over whether their squad is stronger than Chelsea’s.
Chris Sutton’s Take on Chelsea vs. Liverpool
Speaking on It’s All Kicking Off!, Sutton expressed skepticism about the hype surrounding Chelsea’s squad depth.
“I would argue that Liverpool have a slightly stronger squad. I’d agree with what you’re saying about Chelsea to an extent, but should Southampton be the barometer of the changes?” Sutton said, pointing out that Chelsea’s win came against a struggling Southampton side.
Chelsea’s Bench Power vs. Liverpool’s Star Quality
Jamie Carragher has backed Chelsea to finish above Manchester City this season, but Sutton remains unconvinced that their squad surpasses Liverpool’s.
Liverpool boasts a starting XI filled with world-class players like Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who have been pivotal to their success under Arne Slot. Yet, Chelsea’s squad depth—evidenced by Wednesday’s rotated lineup of stars like Christopher Nkunku, Joao Felix, and Malo Gusto—may give them an edge in the long run.
While Liverpool’s consistency keeps them top of the league, Chelsea’s bench strength could be a game-changer in their pursuit of silverware this season.
