Former Chelsea manager Avram Grant has had some positive things to say about his old club, stating his belief that they are the team to beat next season.

The Israeli took over after Jose Mourinho left the club last September, and managed to get Chelsea to the Champions League Final where they lost on penalties to Manchester United.

They also fell short in the Carling Cup Final, losing to Tottenham, and in the Premier League, finishing second behind Manchester United.

However, Grant doesn't think that the same will happen under Luiz Felipe Scolari.

"In the last few months, there have been big changes at Chelsea," explained Grant. "I think they are now better than Manchester United or Arsenal.

"Scolari is a good coach and can bring success to Chelsea. Chelsea have a good chance of winning the Premier League."
