Tuchel made the concession just moments after steering his side to a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener.

Goals from Marcos Alonso, Christian Pulisic, and Trevoh Chalobah ensured the west Londoners kicked off their campaign on a flying start.

While the Saturday, August 14, clash was encouraging news for Chelsea in their push to challenge for the league this season, Tuchel contends there are still teams well ahead of the Blues.

According to the German tactician, the English topflight is the most competitive in Europe but was quick to exude his desire to help his side close the gap between them and their rivals.

"This is the Premier League, the toughest competition and it is on us, I truly believe we are in the role of the hunters to close the gap to Liverpool, City, and United. We have to do this week in, week out," Metro UK quoted his saying.
"We are not shy to say this out loud that we try to be the best in any competition that we play. There are three teams to close the gap to," he added.
