Pep Guardiola says exactly what Chelsea, Spurs & Arsenal fans want to hear about the title race


Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists it will be a five-horse race for the Premier League title this season after his side were beaten by Chelsea on Saturday evening.
Blues boss Maurizio Sarri has constantly claimed that his team are not ready to be the top side in the league just yet, but goals from N'Golo Kante and David Luiz secured a very impressive win over the current champions.
As a result, Liverpool are the new league leaders, City are a point back, Tottenham Hotspur are on 36 points following their win at Leicester City, while Chelsea and Arsenal are locked on 34 points.
And despite Sarri's attempts to play down the Blues' title chances, Guardiola has said that with the players at Sarri's disposal they can compete for all the trophies this season along with the other two aforementioned London clubs.
"If you tell me Liverpool can win the title, I would say yes. If you say Tottenham, Arsenal or Chelsea can win the Premier League then I would say yes. Everybody can win the Premier League," Guardiola said.
"We know that with two defeats in three games players give an extra bit, playing at home against a previous champions.
"They are an exceptional team, Chelsea, and I know Sarri things that he needs more time but I see right now is a team to compete for everything.
"You see Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, they are players at a high, high level. Pedro has won two Champions League, Hazard one of the best in the world, Willian top class.
