Eden Hazard backs Chelsea's title hopes despite tough EPL race
Eden Hazard told Sky Sports that Chelsea have an excellent coach, outstanding players and a solid squad foundation, but warned that winning the Premier League title this season will be extremely difficult. The Blues sit sixth in the table after four matches, having collected seven points, and face Brentford in a Friday night fixture that Hazard said will be a tough test.
For Nigerian football fans, Hazard's assessment matters because Chelsea remains one of the most supported English clubs in the country, and any shift in their title ambitions directly affects match-day viewing, betting odds and local fan discussions. His praise for the coach and squad comes at a time when Chelsea are still finding consistency early in the campaign.
The takeaway for supporters is to watch how the team responds against Brentford and in the coming weeks: if they can turn Hazard's confidence into points, a top-four finish remains possible, but a title challenge will need a sustained run of wins. Will you back Chelsea to overturn their mid-table start and push for the league crown, or adjust your expectations to a more realistic top-six finish?
