Chelsea Manager Enzo Maresca Warns Liverpool Could Be 'Impossible to Catch' in Premier League Race

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has voiced concerns that Liverpool's exceptional start to the Premier League season may make them impossible to catch. Liverpool currently hold a five-point lead over Arsenal and a seven-point advantage over Chelsea after winning all their first five matches and investing over £400 million on new players including Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak. The Reds' consistent victories, including dramatic late wins and a Champions League triumph over Atletico Madrid, position them strongly for consecutive league titles for the first time in over 30 years. Maresca acknowledged that Liverpool's recruitment and performance since last year demonstrate clear intentions to dominate domestically and in Europe. Meanwhile, Chelsea have struggled with recent draws and defeats, falling behind in the title race and dealing with injury concerns for key players like Cole Palmer. Despite Chelsea's efforts to close the gap, Liverpool's momentum and squad strength make them formidable favorites for retaining the Premier League crown this season.
