Despite the current uncertainty in Chelsea’s camp as a result of their loss to Crystal Palace at the weekend, former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp believes the Stamford Bridge club will still finish the current campaign as winner of the English Premier League title.
Chelsea returned to premier league duties after the international break with an impressive record, losing just one game in their last 22 premier league games – dominating the premier league table with ten points.
However, when they host Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, they shockingly fell to a 2-1 defeat following quick goals from Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke.
However, Tottenham emerged 2-0 over Burnley at Turf Moor,cutting short Chelsea’s ten points lead. However, Chelsea are still seven points clear of the White Hart Lane outfit.
Harry Redknapp believes chelsea will win premier league title
And while current Spurs boss expressed that the new developments is encouraging to his side, former manager Redknapp remains confident that Chelsea will still grab the Premier League title at the first season under Antonio Conte.
He told BT Sport’s Premier League Tonight show that Chelsea are still favorites to lift the trophy this season, even though he isn’t ruling out the possibilities of anything else happening.
Last season, before Abramovich brought in former Juventus manager Antonio Conte, Chelsea finished in the tenth position. However, as they get set to host Manchester City in another Premier League encounter at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night, Conte will hope to get back to winning ways.
