Maresca: "Chelsea will soon win matches against top clubs"

Chelsea's head coach, Enzo Maresca, believes that the team will soon reach the level necessary to secure victories against top clubs.

Yesterday, the London side played to a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at home in the 11th round of the English Premier League.

"I said many times, do you think we deserve to lose to Liverpool? No. Very soon we will win these kinds of games — the performance is important as if you draw tonight and you didn't play well, you would be happy. But look — Bournemouth away we didn't deserve to win, and we did. Against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, we deserved to win, and we didn't.

For me we are behind these kinds of clubs like City and Arsenal as they've worked every day with the same manager. We are behind them, but Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs in the world and we need to compete and try to win games. We tried to compete and very soon we will win these kinds of games," Maresca told ESPN.

This season, Chelsea has lost to Manchester City (0-2) and Liverpool (1-2), and also drew with Manchester United (1-1) in the Premier League.

The Blues currently sit third in the Premier League standings with 19 points.
