Former England captain Alan Shearer rates Chelsea as title favourites after Sunday's win at Tottenham.

Shearer wrote for BBC Sport: "The Premier League title race is only just getting started, but Chelsea already look like they will be very hard to stop.

"Thomas Tuchel's side look seriously impressive right now, but they have done since he took charge in January.

"Even when they are not playing well or things go wrong - like it did when Reece James was sent off at Anfield last month - Chelsea still give very little away.

"As they showed in their brilliant 3-0 win at Tottenham on Sunday, the Blues have an extremely strong squad and a very good manager too.

"Tuchel changed it up at half-time, and brought on N'Golo Kante for Mason Mount, which gave Chelsea more presence in midfield and allowed their two wing-backs, particularly Marcos Alonso, to push further forward.

"There had not been much in it in the first half, but they stepped on the gas in the second half and absolutely battered Spurs.

"Chelsea were so strong all over the pitch and, once they got their first goal, it was just a case of how many they would end up with."
