Former Chelsea midfielder and Legend Claude Makelele believes it will be difficult for Maurizio Sarri to win the Premier League in his first season, although he has backed the Italian to make history at Stamford Bridge.



Sarri arrived from Napoli this summer after replacing Conte and he has been exceptional since the start to the Premier League campaign with Chelsea.



Chelsea have kept 100 per cent record to be one of only three teams boasting of the record after four matches.



Makelele – a two-time Premier League winner with the Blues – is expecting big things from Sarri. In his words, Makelele said: "I think Chelsea changed a lot," Makelele told reporters. "Before now you have a lot of teams in the Premier League, it's competitive.



"Manchester City, Manchester United, and also the smaller teams have good players. So it's going to be difficult for them to win the Premier League. I'm confident.



"He [Sarri] still has good players, [Eden] Hazard is there, [N'Golo] Kante is there. These kinds of players give a different story about Chelsea than the way we knew Chelsea before.



"I think he has the capacity to make history for Chelsea again."



Chelsea will welcome Cardiff City on Saturday at Stamford Bridge when the Premier League resumes after the international break.
