"All the guys are saying" – Sancho lifts the lid on what Chelsea players are saying about the title race

Today at 04:30 AM

Jadon Sancho has revealed what Chelsea players are saying about the title race as talk heats up about the Blues being title contenders.

Following Sunday's win against Tottenham the Blues are now just four points behind leaders Liverpool, whilst they are now outright second after Arsenal drew to Fulham.

Chelsea's start to the season has seen them lose just two of their opening 15 league games, whilst they are also the top scorers in the league with 35 goals.

Sancho shares what Chelsea players are saying about the title race

Sancho played a key role for the Blues against Tottenham and he's now really starting to his find his feet after joining from Manchester United on deadline day in the summer.

Maresca has consistently played down talk of being in a title race, but that hasn't stopped it being a hot topic of conversation in the media.

Enzo Fernandez has revealed Chelsea are trying to avoid unrealistic expectations and the club haven't challenged for title since they last won it under Antonio Conte in 2017.

Of course some fans will be getting carried with the current situation and perhaps rightly so given the difficulties of the last two years, and it's just great to see Chelsea doing well again.

Sancho has insisted the squad aren't getting carried away and emphasised they haven't achieved anything yet when asked if they were trying to shut out all the noise about the title.

"Nah, but that's what all the guys are saying to each other, like we haven't done anything yet," he told Sky Sports.

Sancho is absolutely right and it's vital the squad keep their feet firmly on the ground and keep taking things one game at a time.

As soon as you start believing your own hype is the moment things can start to go wrong, but it feels like with this group and this manager focus is purely on the next game and the squad won't be allowed to get carried away.
