Chelsea are going to be dangerous,” former Blues midfielder Townsend told Premier League production.

“They have got so many good options in those forward positions.

“If you think about any team when you are struggling in the Premier League, normally when you are struggling you are thinking ‘we can’t score a goal, we haven’t got enough pace in the forward areas, we haven’t got enough options’. Chelsea have got it everywhere – even full-backs are flying into the last third.
