Do The Champions Have Enough Depth To Lift The Title Again?

Chelsea have had a fantastic start to the season and there is no doubt that they are very much the title favourites at the moment. They also have an impressive goal difference of 21 from the first 7 games. However with the news that Yossi Benayoun is set for a 6 month stint on the sidelines do Chelsea have enough in their squad to win the title again?

So far this season Chelsea have been without Frank Lampard, John Terry and Alex with Jose Bosingwa also still out. These men have all been consistent performers in Chelsea shirts and although they do have strength in some positions others, particularly central defence, looks weak especially as they didn’t sign a central defender to replace Ricardo Carvalho who moved to Real Madrid in the summer.

It is by no means panic stations for Chelsea at the moment but if they are to compete in both the Premiership and the Champions League this season then their needs to be some squad rotation involved if the players are to last the whole season.

The Chelsea squad is considerably weakened from last year with Joe Cole, Michael Ballack, Deco, Ricardo Carvalho and Juliano Belletti all having left the club and the only summer arrivals being Ramires and Benayoun. Even though all of the players above didn’t play week in week out for Chelsea they were always quality options that they had to bring on that they no longer do.

The hope is that Chelsea are able to bring through some of their younger players to fill the gaps, however there has been very little young talent coming into the Chelsea team over the last few seasons so it s going to be a big step up for the youngsters.

If Chelsea can keep the majority of their first team squad fit then they are still in pole position for the title but with Manchester City in particular not far behind. and with a much larger squad of first team players, Chelsea can not afford to get complacent or pick up too many injuries otherwise they may not be able to retain the title this season.

Chelsea ease through Champions League openers

Having started the Premier League season in fantastic form, Chelsea have also started the Champions League in a rich vein of form that has seen them clearly demonstrate why they are one of the current favourites with Champions league betting to lift the trophy at Wembley come next May.

Even though they are a side which is still ironing out one or two difficulties (having been beaten by a well-organised Manchester City side in the Premier League), they have also shown that they are a team capable of beating their main rivals, having comprehensively overcome the challenge posed by London rivals Arsenal in a recent tie in the Premier League.

With players such as Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard having failed to show their best form in the European competition this season, Chelsea are surely only going to improve as the competition progresses, a fact that is likely to worry rivals such as Barcelona, who will be looking to continue their rivalry with the London side come the knockout stages of the Champions League.

However, with the competition still in its early days, Chelsea know that they still have some work to do in order to ensure that they are certain to win their group and subsequently improve their chances of facing a weaker side in the first round of the knockout stages.

Should they slacken off before this time, however, the Champions League odds believe that Chelsea are likely to face a far more difficult time if they wish to pick up their first Champions League trophy at Wembley next year.

Spurs finally mixing it with the big boys

It has been 49 years since Tottenham Hotspur were last in Europe’s premier club competition. Since then, man has walked on the moon, the Beatles formed (and subsequently split up), and the Berlin wall was brought crashing down by a combination of the collapse of the Eastern Bloc – whichever way you look at it, that’s a long wait for another chance at the big time.

But if you asked their fans whether the wait has been worth it, the majority would probably say yes. When fully fit, the team now looks strong in all departments, and the man at the helm, Harry Redknapp, is one of the most respected coaches in the Premier League. He is currently strong favourite to take over the national side when Fabio Capello steps down at the end of the European Championships in 2012 – a change that many feel is long overdue following the unsuccessful reign of Steve McLaren and our poor showing at the World Cup in South Africa.

And why not? When he took over the reins at Spurs, they were languishing at the bottom of the table, but that season he guided them to an eighth place finish and refurbished his squad with an array of exciting internationals such as Jermaine Defoe, Wilson Palacios and Robbie Keane – a player previously struggling for form at rivals Liverpool. He got the best from the players he already had at his disposal, and enhanced the belief and performances from those he brought in – a trait which saw him guide Spurs to a fourth place finish last term. But he’s being realistic about the challenge he faces this season.

Spurs are currently suffering something of an injury crisis in defence, with King, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Dawson and Woodgate all taking up space on the physio table, but get them back fit and there’s no reason why last season’s success should be a one-off, the Spurs betting certainly suggests they’re in with a chance.

Add those players to a midfield reinforced with the signing of Rafael Van der Vaart – a genuine world-beater bought for a knock-down price – and a front line of Pavlyuchenko, Keane, Crouch and Defoe, they look like they could give any side in Europe a game. We’ll know more after their midweek encounter with Inter Milan, but Spurs have to believe they are where they deserve to be – and if they do, then the current holders could be in for quite a shock come Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, the Blackburn betting suggests the side could pick up three points against Sunderland this weekend.

The north-east team has a woeful away record and could slip up again.
