Paul Merson has insisted that Chelsea are in the Premier League title race along with Liverpool and Arsenal. The pundit believes that the Opta chances are not accurate and the Blues need to be given higher than the current 5.8 percent.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Merson was not happy with the Blues getting just a 5.8% chance in Opta title chances, with Arsenal getting 13.2%. He believes that Enzo Maresca's side deserve better odds as they do not have the Carabao Cup distractions and have a different team for European football.
He said (via Metro):
"Well that 5.8 percent needs to be biggest, whatever happens. That does need to be bigger, that’s ridiculous. Arsenal need consistency, they need consistency as Mikel Arteta said, they’ve drawn their last two games.
