One Chelsea player has claimed that he doesn’t even look at the Premier League table when asked about the title race this weekend.
Everyone at Chelsea, whether a player or a coach or even a staff member, will be asked about the title race right now and whether they are in one. And just like head coach Enzo Maresca has been doing, they will all continue to play it down. And seemingly, some of them will even claim that they don’t even look at the table right now.
EXCLUSIVE! Chelsea make club-to-club contact to sign new Premier League striker!!
Whether you believe that or not, this is what striker Nicolas Jackson claims at the moment. He’s not even looking at the table and does not know what a title race is!
Chelsea are now just two points behind Liverpool who are top of the league right now, and four points above fourth place Arsenal. To be honest, the way the ‘big’ clubs are all stumbling and dropping points this season, has there been a bigger opportunity in recent times for any club in the top 6 at the moment win the Premier League? I don’t think there has been.

Jackson scored for Chelsea last night!
After scoring a goal to help his side beat Brentford 2-1 at Stamford Bridge last night, Jackson was asked about being two points behind Liverpool now. He replied:
“Really? No… I didn’t know [smiles]. I don’t really know what atitle race is to be honest. I don’t even look at the table!”
I think someone might be telling a little white lie here! Of course Jackson and everyone at Chelsea knows exactly where they are in the table right now, even if they want to continue going about their business in silence!
