Chelsea legend Gary Cahill tells Arsenal they shouldn’t count the title out just yet, adding that Manchester City still have what it takes to bounce back and challenge for the Premier League crown.
Gary Cahill, the former Chelsea defender, has sparked a title‑race discussion by pointing to Manchester City as the team Arsenal should truly worry about.
Cahill said City “can still challenge Arsenal for the title. They’ve been there and done it and know exactly what it’s all about.” He added that City will always be “in and around the top” despite currently sitting third, seven points behind league‑leading Arsenal.
Cahill didn’t stop at City; he also acknowledged Chelsea’s quiet progress, noting the Blues are “going about their business nice and quietly” but still six points adrift of Arsenal and just one point above City.
Arsenal are doing everything needed to stay ahead, Cahill observed, and “if they continue until the end of the season, they’ll win the league.” The Gunners sit atop the table, enjoying a comfortable cushion over their rivals.
Chelsea’s upcoming clash at Stamford Bridge could be pivotal. A win would shrink the gap to Arsenal to just three points, intensifying the pressure on Mikel Arteta’s side. Cahill framed the fixture as a crucial six‑point game that could swing momentum either way.
Manchester City face Leeds United this weekend, a match that could set the tone for their chase. Although they’re seven points behind Arsenal, Cahill believes City’s experience and depth give them a realistic shot at overtaking the Gunners.
