“Very difficult to stop” – Garry Neville hails Chelsea player
Chelsea moved a step further in their chase for the Premier League title this season with another victory against Aston Villa at the weekend.
Following their impressive display during the game, Manchester United legend Garry Neville claimed it will be difficult to stop the high-flying Blues this season.
He remarked:
“It was interesting because I’d expect Manchester United to beat Newcastle in the way in which they did – with or without Ronaldo. But then I went home from Salford to watch the Chelsea-Villa game and Villa played well, and Villa are a decent side, but Chelsea again, just like robotic, methodical.”

“When they scored that first goal, Lukaku, I just thought, ‘Ooh, it’s ominous.’ The striker scoring, guaranteed, the players in behind him, a good midfield. They’re going to be very difficult to stop. The talk will all be about Manchester – Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo’s Manchester United – but Chelsea I think everyone knows they’re serious.”

“We’ve watched them now two or three times this season, I watched them against Liverpool at Anfield and it was a real performance.”
The former Manchester United defender concluded:
“They’re just a good team. Good at Arsenal, they’ve got Tottenham next week away from home, that will be interesting.”
