“Chelsea have a far better squad” – Gary Neville on Premier League top four race

But at the same time, his opinion is one that is widely read and listened to by many, due to the platforms that he manages to get on.

The former Manchester United and England player has been speaking about Chelsea after their 1-0 win against Tottenham on Saturday night.

Robert Sanchez was a bit of an unsung hero in this game and he is enjoying some deserved praise as a result.

Neville was watching the game and he was impressed with Chelsea overall and has started talking again about where they might finish come the end of this season.

Mad Premier League

Asked if he believes Chelsea are on track for a top-four finish, Gary Neville told NBC Sports: ‘The problem is the Premier League is so inconsistent this year.

‘When you look at the league table, every team is so inconsistent except for Arsenal. The fact of the matter is Spurs are still in front of Chelsea.

‘The Chelsea fans were celebrating in that far corner with the Chelsea players and the Tottenham players had left the pitch devastated after being booed off but it’s them who’s in front in the table.

‘It’s been a bit of a mad start to the league this year. I think Chelsea will have enough to get into that top-four because I think it’s going to be a bit crazy all season.’

Chelsea have better squad than Spurs

Neville rates Chelsea above Tottenham and believes the Blues have a ‘far better squad’ than their London rivals.

‘I do, yeah,’ Neville added. ‘Chelsea have a better squad and better players.

‘Look at Tottenham’s players… Randal Kolo Muani, Xavi Simons and a few others haven’t settled in yet and don’t look like they’re at the level the Chelsea players are.

‘Chelsea have a far better squad than Tottenham and they should have because they’ve spent far more money.’
