Eden Hazard believes Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City could challenge for the title this season but neglected to mention Tottenham when asked about Chelsea’s major rivals.

The 26-year-old is yet to make an appearance for Chelsea this season after undergoing ankle surgery back in June, but made two substitute appearances for Belgium in World Cup qualifiers against Gibraltar and Greece in recent days.

Hazard could feature at Leicester this weekend in a titanic clash of the two most recent Premier League champions and the forward revealed which teams he thinks will be battling for the 2017/18 title this campaign.

‘It’s not just one team, I think all of the teams have got really good players,’ Hazard told The Daily Mail.

‘Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City and good managers as well. So we will see…’

Hazard lifted the lid on his individual goals for the season and admitted that ‘having fun’ was his priority off the back of an injury-plagued summer.

He said: ‘The most important thing for me is just to recover, so I can get back in the squad and go out on the pitch to play.

‘My goal is just to play football and to enjoy myself in front of the fans.

‘You know I just want to recover from my injury, it is too bad I missed the first games, but when I am back I just want to be playing at Stamford Bridge and having fun.’
