Enzo Maresca: Chelsea moved up to third place in the Premier League table, tied with Arsenal at second, with a win over Aston Villa on the weekend. With the gap to league leaders Liverpool at nine points, Enzo Maresca does not believe his team is in the title race this season.
"Absolutely. Arsenal have been there in the last two years close to Man City and we have been very far from City. To be in the title race is a nice pressure for me and the players - we like that pressure - but it is not our case because Arsenal in the last two years they have been there with Liverpool and City and we were not there. Hopefully soon, we can be there,” said Maresca in a press conference.
Maresca’s comments follow hours after Liverpool head coach Arne Slot labelled Chelsea as one of his side’s main three competitors, saying, "They also know how to win the league against the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and City, because I see those three as our main competitors at the moment”
