Chelsea are four points behind leaders Liverpool while Man City are 12 adrift, but Maresca believes Pep Guardiola’s side are still in the race
Despite Chelsea's strong current position in the Premier League table, Enzo Maresca, a former assistant coach at Manchester City, believes that Chelsea are not true title contenders and that Manchester City will still be in the running for the championship. He attributes Manchester City's current struggles to injuries and a lack of squad depth, predicting they will bounce back strongly. Maresca acknowledges Chelsea's positive form exceeding expectations but emphasizes that the focus should be on continuous improvement rather than championship aspirations.
