Thomas Frank lavishes praise on Chelsea ahead of Sunday’s game against Enzo Maresca’s side at Stamford Bridge.
Thomas Frank has called Chelsea “maybe the best team in the Premier League right now”.
Before Sunday’s match against Frank’s Brentford at Stamford Bridge, Enzo Maresca, who took over for Mauricio Pochettino in June, has guided the Blues to six consecutive victories in all competitions.
Chelsea is now four points behind leaders Liverpool in the table after four straight league victories.
“They are maybe even more in-form than Liverpool, even though they are top of the league,” said Frank.
“They are playing incredible football and are well-coached. Maresca has done a top job so far with his coaching staff and they look extremely dangerous.”
Chelsea, the top-scoring team in the Premier League, defeated Astana 3-1 in the Europa Conference League on Thursday after defeating them 4-3 at Tottenham. Maresca’s team has scored 15 goals in their last four games in all competitions.
After defeating Newcastle 4-2 last weekend, Brentford is now in ninth place. However, the Bees have only managed one point out of a potential 21 away this season, while being extremely strong at home.
They have won all three of their Premier League games at Stamford Bridge, though, so they have a promising record there.
“[Chelsea] have so many threats going forward and have top-quality players all over the pitch. I expect an unbelievably difficult game,” said Frank.
“They are massive favourites but, of course, we believe that we can compete against anyone and we believe we can win.”
