'There is real structure, identity and quality in their team'

Chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Ben: Why are so many pundits are still dismissing Chelsea as title challengers? It feels similar to last season when Aston Villa were up there around this stage - but there seemed to be more optimism around their form and potential. So, do you think Chelsea can go all the way? Or at least be the closest challengers - taking into consideration their superior squad depth and being in the Conference League?

Phil: I have been really impressed with Chelsea and new coach Enzo Maresca. There is real structure, identity and quality in their team. I think, as does Maresca, that the Premier League title might just be a step too far but, on the evidence of what I've seen this season, I can see Chelsea finishing in the top four.
