Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp thinks Chelsea are the luckiest team when it comes to injuries in the Premier League.
Chelsea are right now sitting top of the Premier League with a comfortable 7 points cushion over second placed Man City. The Blues have not suffered any major injuries so far and their main XI has been pretty consistent.
On the other hand, Liverpool’s season has been plagued by injuries. Philippe Coutinho is yet to take the field after he was injured against Sunderland. Daniel Sturridge recently returned to the first-team action while Danny Ings has been ruled out for the rest of the season. Matip too has had niggles every now and then.
Klopp said, “There is no perfect system in world football, but when they go on like this they are the deserved champions, nobody could have a doubt about this.
“I am pretty sure that until now Chelsea are maybe the team that have had the most luck with injuries. We lost Phil [Coutinho] and Daniel [Sturridge] and Danny Ings in difficult moments when you really could use them.
“If it’s Hazard and Costa at Chelsea, is it the same afterwards? It’s a long season and they all have to play us again and not only us, they have to play Arsenal again and all of the others. Of course, they are the team to beat because they are very experienced, maybe the most experienced team in the top flight at the moment.”
