One pundit has said that he feels Chelsea still have too many ‘moments of vulnerabilities’ to be in the Premier League title talk right now.
The Blues currently sit in third place in the Premier League, level on points with second place Arsenal, and now above Manchester City who are going through some awful form right now.

Liverpool are sort of steaming ahead during these early doors moments in the league, but Chelsea have literally surprised everyone by being up there where they are after thirteen games played so far. Nobody expect it, and pretty much nobody was even putting them in the top four race at the start of the season either.
But now they are even being spoken about as title contenders and a team who could now challenge Liverpool up there right now.
But pundit and former West Ham player Nigel Reo-Coker doesn’t believe Chelsea are yet in the title race, even though he has offered many compliments on how they are playing this season, especially in attack.

Chelsea have done well this season
Whilst Reo-Coker says Chelsea are not title challengers yet, he does admit that they are now well and truly in the race for top four.
In words picked up on X this week, Reo-Coker said on Chelsea:
“I don’t see them forcing themselves into a title argument. But they are definitely up there in that top four conversation.
“They look like a team now – they look really good. They do still have moments of vulnerabilities, but their attacking power is scary. They have so many options.”
I think it’s wise to keep Chelsea’s name out of the title race right now and I am happy to hear that. We need to keep the pressure off and just let us quietly go about our business and sneak up on them all!
