'Liverpool are the best teams, but we have the quality to beat them': Chelsea striker Timo Werner

Chelsea striker Timo Werner striker shares thoughts on the upcoming battle with Liverpool.

"I am looking forward to the game because you have a lot of good teams and with Liverpool, one of the best teams in the world," Timo Werner told Chelsea's official website.

"They won the league last year and they have the same team as last year, so they will be as strong as last year. So it will be a really good challenge for us to see how far we are.

"We had not so good a pre-season because a lot of players come from holiday, a lot of players didn’t play any games before our first game against Brighton, a lot of players couldn’t play, and that made it a little difficult to fight together but I think for this we did very well.

"We will improve game by game but now we have to play on Sunday and we try to win the game.

"We are playing against a strong team and they have such good players, not only Virgil van Dijk, the whole defending part of Liverpool are very good. They conceded the least goals in the league and it is a great team in every position.

"But we also have great players and we have the quality to beat them. It will be an interesting game."

Chelsea and Liverpool are set to go head to head at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, September 20 on the Premier League matchday 2.

The Reds kicked off the 2020/21 league season with a tough 4-3 victory over Leeds United. The Blues didn't look that convincing either despite a 3-1 win over Brighton.
