Former Manchester United captain, Gary Neville, has named Chelsea as the team that will be difficult to stop in the Premier League this season.<\/p>\n

Neville was left very impressed following the Blues\u2019 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel only made one permanent signing this summer, bringing in Romelu Lukaku<\/a> from Inter Milan. Saul Niguez also arrived on loan from Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

But, despite a slightly quieter summer than their rivals, Neville still feels Chelsea could be the team to beat this season.<\/p>\n

However, he said on his Gary Neville Podcast: \u201cIt was interesting because I\u2019d expect Manchester United<\/a> to beat Newcastle the way in which they did \u2013 with or without Ronaldo.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then I went home from Salford to watch the Chelsea-Villa game and Villa played well. And Villa are a decent side, but Chelsea again, just like robotic, methodical.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen they scored that first goal, Lukaku, I just thought, \u201cOoh, it\u2019s ominous\u201d. The striker scoring, guaranteed, the players in behind him, a good midfield. In other words, they\u2019re going to be very difficult to stop.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe talk will all be about Manchester \u2013 Pep Guardiola\u2019s Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo\u2019s Manchester United \u2013 but Chelsea I think everyone knows they\u2019re serious.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
