Joe Cole is convinced Chelsea will win the Premier League this campaign but Arsenal legend Lee Dixon has backed Man City to beat ‘awesome’ Liverpool to the title.
The Blues have won eight of their ten league matches this season to emerge as the early pace-setters ahead of Liverpool and Manchester City.
Chelsea only finished fourth last season but have impressed since Tuchel arrival and have set their sights on more silverware in the German’s first full season at Stamford Bridge.

Liverpool are the only unbeaten side in the Premier League and look a different proposition to the team that struggled in their title defence last campaign.
Meanwhile, Reigning champions Man City are within touching distance of Liverpool and Chelsea and can never be written off under Pep Guardiola.
Dixon believes the title will be heading back to the Etihad this season but Cole is adamant his former team Chelsea are set to win the Premier League for the first time since 2017.
Asked to give their title predictions, former Arsenal defender Dixon told JOE: ‘I’m not sure I can pick right now. ‘Look, I’m a Man City fan, born and bred. Arsenal have obviously taken over for me but they’re not going to win it.
‘Liverpool look awesome at the moment and I can’t rule Chelsea out, but I’m going for Manchester City.’
Cole, meanwhile, said: ‘Chelsea will win the league, I’m throwing it out there now, they’re winning the league. They are so strong.
‘I’ve watched them every game this season and they’re not conceding goals. They have the strongest defence by a mile and we’ve seen the importance of having a strong defence over the years.’
