Chelsea are tipped to have a big chance to catch Liverpool in the title race by Arsenal legend. The Reds are sitting on top of Premier League table at the moment. But, one Arsenal legend believes the Blues can catch Arne Slot’s men.
The Blues are doing really well in the Premier League. No one believed that they would be in such an improved state after changing manager this summer. But, Enzo Maresca has proved everyone wrong.
Chelsea sit on the third position in the Premier League just below Man City. These two teams are seperated by just 1 point at the moment. Liverpool are at the top of table and lead Chelsea with 9 points.
Chelsea tipped to catch Liverpool by Arsenal legend as ‘big opportunity’ lies ahead this weekend
Arsenal legend Paul Merson recently spoke about Chelsea’s chances of challenging for the league title. He believes that the Blues will soon have a chance to catch Liverpool.
“Chelsea have a big opportunity this weekend. Manchester City don’t look very good and if they lose to Liverpool, a win will lift Chelsea to second in the table. If they manage to remain consistent from there then who knows, maybe they have a outside change of catching Liverpool at the top” – Merson speaking to Sportskeeda.
Lastly, Merson said that Chelsea have winnable fixtures coming soon and they should make the most of it. He ended by predicting their match against Aston Villa. Merson thinks the Blues will win by 3-1 against Unai Emery’s side.
If City do lose or even if they drew, this will be a big boost for Chelsea. In addition, it will also help Arsenal who have equal points as the Blues but are on the 4th position due to the goal difference. At this moment, both clubs will hope that the game ends in a draw as it will also reduce the gap between them and table toppers Liverpool.
