EPL: Tuchel names best two teams to ever play in Premier League

Chelsea manager, Thomas Tuchel, has named Manchester City and Liverpool as “maybe the best teams to ever play” in the Premier League.

The Blues will likely finish third this season, albeit somewhat behind the two title challengers.

But Tuchel has expressed satisfaction given the sanctions imposed on the club as owner Roman Abramovich was ousted.

In this campaign, Chelsea has reached both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals – losing both on penalties to Liverpool – and won the FIFA Club World Cup and the UEFA Super Cup.

When asked to offer his assessment of Chelsea’s season ahead of their final two league games against Leicester City and Watford, Tuchel said: “Hopefully we manage to come third and there is progression in it.

“We have constantly been in the top three in the toughest league, we now compete with maybe the best teams to ever play in his league [City and Liverpool].

“From there we go, put it into perspective and there is no need to lose sleep after this season but there is a lot of ambition in us that is not satisfied.

“I think it is good to admit it, not to be too worried it that we don’t do this.”
