EPL: Makelele predicts Chelsea’s season under Sarri

Former Chelsea midfield, Claude Makelele has predicted that manager, Maurizio Sarri can ‘make history’ at Stamford Bridge with the players he has at his disposal.

Makelele believes that the former Napoli manager, who replaced former Blues manager, Antonio Conte in the summer, will be successfull at the West London club this season.

Sarri has won all four Premier League matches so far this term and Makelele is expecting the 59-year-old Italian to do well at Chelsea.

“I think Chelsea changed a lot,” Daily Star quoted Makelele as saying. “Before now you have a lot of teams in the Premier League, it’s competitive.

“Manchester City, Manchester United, and also the smaller teams have good players.

“So it’s going to be difficult for them to win the Premier League. I’m confident.

“He [Sarri] still has good players, [Eden] Hazard is there, [N’Golo] Kante is there.

“These kinds of players give a different story about Chelsea than the way we knew Chelsea before.

“I think he has the capacity to make history for Chelsea again.”
