Brentford manager Thomas Frank has conceded that Chelsea head into Sunday’s Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge in outstanding form, describing them as clear favourites for the encounter.
Chelsea have been one of the standout performers in the league this season under Enzo Maresca, with Frank going as far as suggesting their form may even surpass that of league leaders Liverpool.
Softfootball understands the Brentford boss was candid in his assessment while speaking to the club’s official website He said:
They are maybe even more in-form than Liverpool, even though they are top of the league.
They are playing incredible football and are well-coached. Maresca has done a top job so far with his coaching staff.
Despite acknowledging the size of the challenge, Frank insisted his side won’t be heading into the match simply to make up the numbers.
They are massive favorites but, of course, we believe that we can compete against anyone, and we believe we can win.
he added.
