Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry, has watered down Chelsea’s ability to lift the English Premier League (EPL) trophy this season despite their impressive run.
The Blues are currently in second place on the table, two points behind early leaders, Liverpool who have a game in hand.
They are also 4 points above third placed Arsenal and six points above league champions, Manchester City, who are in fifth.
Enzo Maresca’s men have impressed so far this season, but Henry is not convinced they are genuine Premier League title contenders.

According to the ex-Arsenal striker, the West Londoners must beat the big teams to be taken seriously.
Speaking on Monday Night Football, Henry said: “They still didn’t beat a big team.
“Show me you can beat Liverpool, show me you can beat City, show me you can beat Arsenal.”
Chelsea lost 2-0 on the opening day of the season to Manchester City. They then lost 2-1 at Liverpool, and drew 1-1 with both Manchester United and Arsenal.
