But Hoddle is wary of Chelsea, who are now without a win in six matches, without Silva at the heart of their defence.
“They lack that punch in and around the 18-yard box,” Hoddle told Premier League Productions after the game.
“They started the game okay, the first 10, 15 minutes they came out and were the better team.
“When their elder statesman, Thiago Silva, goes off, to me, they don’t look the same team without him.”
