Brentford manager Thomas Frank has heaped praise on Chelsea ahead of their highly anticipated London derby at Stamford Bridge, calling them the “best team in the Premier League right now.”
Enzo Maresca’s side has been in scintillating form, winning six consecutive matches across all competitions and narrowing the gap on league leaders Liverpool to just four points.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Frank highlighted Chelsea’s impressive run of form and their quality on the pitch.
“They are maybe the best team in the Premier League right now. They are maybe even more in-form than Liverpool, even though they are top of the league,” Frank said.
“They are playing incredible football and are well-coached. [Enzo] Maresca has done a top job so far with his coaching staff, and they look extremely dangerous.
“They have so many threats going forward and have top-quality players all over the pitch.”
Despite acknowledging the challenge ahead, Frank remains confident in his team’s ability to compete.
“I expect an unbelievably difficult game. They are massive favourites but, of course, we believe that we can compete against anyone and we believe we can win,” the Brentford boss added.
