Former Manchester City defender, Micah Richards, has asserted that Chelsea lacks the strength to compete with Arsenal for the Premier League title this season.
Richards, however, believes that Manchester City will be the team to challenge the Gunners throughout the season.
On the show The Rest Is Football, Richards remarked, “I think Chelsea can compete with Arsenal, but I don’t believe they will have enough.”
“I maintain that Man City are still the ones capable of challenging them all the way, even though they are allowing easier goals than their usual standards.”
“I say this because they have a player like [Erling] Haaland, who didn’t score against Leeds, but [Phil] Foden stepped up.”
Manchester City trails Arsenal by five points, with the Gunners currently at the top of the Premier League table after 13 matches.
Chelsea, on the other hand, is six points behind Mikel Arteta’s squad and just one point behind the Cityzens.
