Rio Ferdinand has said on his YouTube channel that he has changed his mind about Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea and Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
The former Manchester United defender has said that he thought that Chelsea were favourites for the Premier League title this season.
However, Chelsea’s defeat to City this past weekend has convinced Ferdinand that Guardiola’s team will make it two league titles in a row this season.
The Blues went down 1-0 to City at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this past weekend.
Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel: “I said Chelsea were favourites a couple of weeks ago, but after watching them two, probably the best two teams in the league for the last six months, I can’t see past City, man, seriously, I can’t, unless there’s some massive injury crisis at the club.”
Too early to call
City deservedly picked up all three points from the match against Chelsea.
The win and the way City played at Stamford Bridge sent a clear message to Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool.
However, it is too early to call now.
Until this weekend’s defeat, Chelsea were looking very strong and are still a very competent team.
One defeat does not change that.
United are not in the best of form at the moment, but they cannot be written off just yet.
After all, the Red Devils have a certain Cristiano Ronaldo.
Then there is Liverpool, who are quietly going about their business.
