Thomas Tuchel has admitted his Chelsea side face an uphill battle to compete with Liverpool and Manchester City next season – regardless of whether they make some key additions in the transfer market.

Having led the Premier League in the opening months of the season, Chelsea fell away dramatically over the winter period due to a combination of poor form, injuries and Covid-19 issues. Meanwhile, Liverpool and City have emerged as arguably the two finest teams on the planet at present.

Although they have clung on to third place, the Blues are a whopping 18 points behind the Reds in second going into the final day of the season, while fourth-placed Tottenham have closed the gap to their London rivals to just three.

To rub salt into the wounds, Chelsea have also lost both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup finals to Liverpool on penalties.

Speaking ahead of hosting already-relegated Watford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, head coach Tuchel admitted he did not anticipate next season being any easier for his side, regardless of what was achieved in the upcoming transfer window.
