Newcastle United legend, Alan Shearer , has said he is 'not convinced' Chelsea will maintain their Premier League title charge. The Blues were expected to struggle this season following a chaotic summer window and the arrivals of new manager Enzo Maresca. Chelsea finished in sixth place last term under Mauricio Pochettino and were widely expected for a similar finish in Maresca’s first year. But they have lost just once in the league to emerge as genuine title contenders.
Maresca's men have amassed 34 points from 16 games and their tally of 37 goals is comfortably the most in the Premier League. Although Shearer has been impressed by Chelsea’s impressive form, he cannot see them maintaining their title challenge throughout the season. 'The big surprise obviously is Man City and what’s happened to them. I can’t see Liverpool going away now. 'I’m not convinced Chelsea will be where they are at this moment at the end of the season, I could be wrong.
