Chelsea will again be the team to beat in the Premier League next season.

That is the opinion of Stamford Bridge legend Gianfranco Zola who feels that superstar Belgian Eden Hazard holds the key to future successes for the west London club who won the Premier League title and Capital One Cup this term.

"Having a player like Hazard means Chelsea will be the team to beat next year," said Zola.

"He is a player and they are a team that deserve all the credit they are getting this season."

Zola was speaking at the Football Writers' Association dinner at the London Landmark Hotel where Hazard was named the FWA Footballer of the Year.
