‘I think they’re going to win it first because they have talents’: Chelsea legend Petr Cech now predicts who’ll win the Premier League first – Arsenal or Chelsea
Petr Cech has now predicted who he thinks will win the Premier League first – Arsenal or Chelsea.
Mikel Arteta’s men have put themselves firmly back in the mix for the title after consecutive wins over Liverpool and West Ham
It’s fair to say that Mauricio Pochettino’s side have little to no chance of lifting the title this term as they currently sit in 10th place – 20 points off the pace.
But the Blues have shown signs of improvement in recent days, having picked up wins over Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
Of course, Chelsea will be hoping to build towards competing for major honours whereas Arsenal are at that point right now.
And Petr Cech, a man who played for both London clubs, believes Arteta’s side will lift a league title before Chelsea.
Cech backs Arsenal to win Premier League before Chelsea
Speaking on Sky Sports on Monday night, Cech was asked who he thinks will win a league title first – Arsenal or Chelsea.
“At the moment I think Arsenal,” the former goalkeeper said. “This season it will be very close and I actually think Arsenal might do it.”
We’d have to agree with Cech on this one and it feels like an obvious choice between the two at the moment.
Arsenal have a real chance of lifting the title this year and seem to be finding their best form ahead of the business end of the campaign.
As for Chelsea, they have hardly made any progress from last season and currently find themselves sitting in midtable.
For the time being, the Blues will probably be focused on getting themselves back into Europe before even thinking about challenging for the league.
Whether or not Arsenal manage to get over the line under Arteta remains to be seen. It will be no easy task toppling the juggernaut that is Manchester City.
But based on their recent form, they will push Pep Guardiola’s men and Liverpool close this term
