Former Arsenal defender, Matt Upson, has tipped Chelsea to finish in second place in the Premier League title race.

Upson was speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, after the Blues lost 2-1 to champions Arsenal on Sunday.

The Blues were in front after only 90 seconds after Morgan Rogers found space to drill in a shot from outside the box.

But the Premier League champions fought back to take all three points after goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard.

“Chelsea to finish second for me,” Upson said.

“They have a great opportunity, and they have a manager who can get them going.

“They have some senior players mixed in and they only have domestic football, which is an advantage. Based off that performance, I feel like that.”
