Chelsea have to play against both Arsenal and Manchester City before the Premier League season comes to an end, and Jody Morris believes the Blues are going to have a real say on the title race this season.
Liam Rosenior has enjoyed an unbeaten start to life in the Premier League since taking over the club, and has a great chance of continuing that when they take on Burnley this weekend.
A return to form for Cole Palmer has certainly buoyed their hopes, however the fixtures are about to become a whole lot more difficult for the Blues.

He even tipped the Blues to nick a point from Arsenal, although his results ended up seeing the Gunners crowned the champions of England.
Chelsea are yet to defeat either side so far this season, however put in one of their best performances of the campaign in the 1-1 draw against Arsenal, when they were down to 10 men after the sending off of Moises Caicedo.
Their experience against the Gunners under Rosenior has been far less positive though. They lost both legs in the EFL Cup semi-final.

Calum McFarlane set the blueprint for result vs Man City
The reverse fixture between Chelsea and City was the first game after Enzo Maresca was sacked by the Blues.
Calum McFarlane took interim charge of the game, and after they showed too much respect in the first half, his substitutions changed the game.
It was clear that the introduction of Andrey Santos was crucial to them getting a point from the Etihad, and given how highly Rosenior rates him there is a good chance he starts at Stamford Bridge.
