Wright backs Chelsea to finish ahead of Leicester

Ian Wright has suggested that Chelsea have “everything” as a team and he has backed them to finish ahead of Leicester City by the end of the season.

The Blues have been resurgent since the appointment of Thomas Tuchel. They are yet to lose from his 14 games in charge and they have won ten of these outings.

This has seen them rise up to fourth in the Premier League and they are also in the last eight of the Champions League.


OPINION: Liverpool must ignore temptation of Suarez, Coutinho reunion


Speaking on The Kelly and Wright Show, as cited by The Metro, Wright suggested that Tuchel has really “solidified” Chelsea:

“I don’t think Leicester are guaranteed. They’re in a similar position as they were last season and I just feel like the same thing is going to happen. It’s going to be up to them, can they learn from what happened?

“Manchester United are so inconsistent. I’m liking Chelsea at the minute. They’re on the kind of run where I think they’re in a good moment.

“I think you can’t write Liverpool off just because of the quality of their team. West Ham had to win that game [against Arsenal].

“We don’t know what’s going to happen with Leicester, maybe they will look more to the FA Cup. But you can’t write Liverpool off with the quality they have. They could save their season. I think it goes down to Liverpool.

“I don’t think West Ham will make it. When it gets to this stage of the season, you have games you have to win, and that’s why I worry about Everton and West Ham.

“I’m not sure if they can do that. With what Tottenham have got, it would be criminal if they don’t make it, and I don’t think they will. ‘

“You look at Chelsea and the manager and the way he has solidified the team. They’re not conceding so you know then you have the capability of nicking one.

“From now, Chelsea, when you look at what they’ve got, I fancy them to win every game except for Man City maybe. The way they’re playing, passing and moving, it just comes down to the forwards clicking.

“If they can click, I genuinely think they can overtake Leicester because they have everything. They just look very impressive apart from the goals.”
