The closest challengers are second-place Chelsea, winners of the FIFA Club World Cup in July and with a squad that cost more than $1bn. But it is possibly ahead of the curve in terms of mounting a serious title charge for the side that also lifted the UEFA Conference League trophy last season."
"The Blues are on a three-match winning streak, with nine of their last 11 in total, losing only once. With a squad regarded as possibly the strongest in Europe, Mikel Arteta's men are undefeated in 16 games across all competitions, winning 14 during that run. Arsenal manager Arteta says second-placed Chelsea fully deserve to be considered Premier League title contenders."
"Despite their fine form, Enzo Maresca's youthful Chelsea side are still considered outsiders to win the Premier League title. But Arteta is not underestimating the opponents. They are there because they fully deserve to be, he told reporters about Chelsea on Friday. What they have done in the last few years, the squad that they assembled, the numbers that they have, the quality that they have, the number of coaches"
