    Jamie Carragher: ‘Chelsea squad as good as any in Premier League’

    Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher thinks that Chelsea’s busy summer of costs was a success and the Blues have among the greatest teams in the Premier League.

    Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has loaded appreciation on Chelsea‘s squad, declaring that Frank Lampard‘s crop are as strong as any other team in the Premier League.

    The Blues’ busy summer of costs is starting to pay dividends as Chelsea sit 3rd in the Premier League table – only 2 points behind early pacesetters Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.

    The Blues recently trounced Sevilla 4-0 in the Champions League with a new- appearance XI as well, and Carragher has hailed the squad depth at Stamford Bridge as the Blues aim to create a title difficulty in the English leading flight.

    Talking To Sky Sports News, Carragher stated: “In these early phases of the season, it looks like they have actually hired truly well. You can make an argument that it’s as strong a squad as anybody in the Premier League.

    “You could maybe argue, or I think it’s a fact, that Liverpool and Man City have a strong XI, but in terms of back-up players right now and other teams getting injuries – certainly Liverpool – that strength of squad is absolutely fantastic and it doesn’t feel like the team would be weakened too much no matter who was playing.”

    Chelsea next face Krasnodar in Tuesday’s Champions League dead rubber prior to a journey to Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.
