Chelsea definitely got a golden three points, with Liverpool racking up points like crazy, there is no other team left to battle them, Chelsea looks like the only one left just a bit. With the storm causing the Liverpool game to postpone, the gap is now four points but of course we do not know what that game will be, Liverpool is missing one game, so we can say in theory that can be 7 point gap. With City and Arsenal getting further away, Liverpool probably expected to see themselves much higher and must be shocked to see Chelsea doing this well. In fact, I am pretty sure even Chelsea fans are pretty shocked about what they are seeing as well, doesn't feel that likely to be fair.
Yes, Chelsea is performing well at this moment, Enzo Maresca has made the team look very competitive, they are currently two points ahead of Arsenal and just four points behind Liverpool, which simply shows that they are among the title contenders, and right now they are the closest team to Liverpool in the Premier League table. However, saying that they are the only title contenders is very wrong, it is too early to judge because we just played a week, and we have more than 20 weeks to play, therefore, its too early because many teams will bounce back stronger.
I must admit that Chelsea did well in defeating Tottenham after concealing two goals early in the first half, this performance displayed by Chelsea shows how good they are, an it shows that they ready for the title race.
