Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Chelsea goalkeeper, Petr Cech, has said it will \u201cnot be a two-horse race\u201d for the title this season.<\/p>\n

The Blues\u2019 rivals, Manchester City, Liverpool and West Ham have all impressed so far in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Chelsea leads the table currently, having won eight of their 11 league games and are three points ahead of defending champions City during the international break.<\/p>\n

Liverpool, who won the title in 2020, are level on points with City despite losing to third-placed West Ham on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Cech told talkSPORT: \u201cWe\u2019ve been having a brilliant season.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coaching staff has done a great job because we had a lot of players on international duty and pre-season was really affected by that.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be in the position we are now, it\u2019s a great credit to everyone. It has been a great pleasure to watch every game in the Premier League, there has been great drama and everybody can beat everybody.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will not be a two-horse race for the title.\u201d<\/p>\n
