Chelsea forward Romelu Lukaku has impressed since joining the club from Inter Milan 
LONDON, Sept 24 (AFP): Chelsea host Premier League champions Manchester City in a stiff test of the leaders' title credentials on Saturday as Liverpool and Manchester United bid to keep pace with Thomas Tuchel's side.
The Blues look well-equipped to end the season as English champions for the first time since 2017 after signing Romelu Lukaku to add a cutting edge to their attack.
But Liverpool, the 2020 title winners, and Manchester United are matching them, with all three teams locked on 13 points after five games.
Even though the season is still young, former England captain turned TV pundit Alan Shearer predicts Chelsea are going to be difficult to stop.
Tuchel's team beat Manchester City three times last season -- including in the Champions League final.
