Pep Guardiola believes Chelsea will be fighting for Premier League title sooner or later.
The Man City manager expects Chelsea to challenge for the title in the near future despite their mixed start to the new season.
Chelea’s last Premier League triumph came during Guardiola’s debut season with Man City in 2016-17.
The Blues have only picked up just 15 points from their opening 11 matches and currently sit 10th in the Premier League table.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side had a rocky start to the season but Guardiola claims the tide is beginning to turn at Stamford Bridge.
Guardiola said: “Chelsea remain one of the more important teams in England.
“It’s true that in the Premier League they were not close to winning it in these last seasons but they’re still one of the strongest teams, there’s no doubts about that.
“I see that in the last games they are alive, they have good spirit, they are aggressive, they have a good pattern. The quality is there.
“It’s one of the toughest games that we have during the season. Sooner or later Chelsea will be there fighting for the titles, and I guess sooner than later.”
