Three reasons why Chelsea could prove to be title contenders if they beat Liverpool

Eden Hazard's talent and skill

Eden Hazard celebrates his goal late in the match against Liverpool

This week must go down as one of the best in Eden Hazard's career, with the Belgian making it into the Fifa Team of the Year alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi. The 28-year-old followed that up by scoring the winner against Liverpool in the Caraboa Cup, with Hazard completing a neat one-two before bamboozling Alberto Moreno and rifling the ball past compatriot Simon Mignolet.

His ability to waltz past players and retain the ball despite pressure from attackers makes him one of the leagues' most dangerous attackers. Kevin de Bruyne played some awe-inspiring football on Manchester City's way to the Premier League title, with the Belgian providing extraordinary assists and scoring spectacular goals just as regularly. Hazard had the same impact in Jose Mourinho's title win in 2015, with the Belgian winning the coveted PFA Player of the Year award.
