Jamie Carragher Tips Chelsea to Finish Above Manchester City This Season
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has boldly predicted that Chelsea will finish ahead of defending champions Manchester City in the Premier League this season.
Chelsea’s impressive campaign continued with a dominant 5-1 victory over Southampton on Wednesday night, further solidifying their status as genuine title contenders.
Enzo Maresca’s team now occupies second place on the league table after 14 matches, justifying the growing belief that they are serious challengers.
The Blues have been in scintillating form, losing only twice in the league so far and boasting an impressive tally of 31 goals—more than any other team in the division.
Their attacking fluidity and defensive solidity have turned them into a formidable force under Maresca’s management.
Speaking on The Overlap watchalong, Carragher expressed his confidence in Chelsea’s ability to outperform Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City this season.
He said, “I’m telling you, Chelsea are going to finish above Man City. They’re winning games with ease.
Look at the way they played against Arsenal and Liverpool—it was outstanding.”
The former Liverpool defender went on to analyze Chelsea’s strengths and how they compare to other top teams.
“As a Liverpool fan, I’m more worried about Arsenal than Chelsea,” he admitted.
“Arsenal has a more machine-like consistency. But Chelsea’s performances this season have been exceptional.”
Football legend Paul Scholes shares thoughts on the player that should be replaced at Chelsea.
He stated that Xabi Alonso should replace Robert Sanchez. He revealed this while speaking on what he thinks is holding the club down.
“I think the goalkeeper is a problem there at Chelsea; he’s a liability. He can’t play the way they will want to play. With the way Chelsea will play, I agree. He can’t do it. I’m pretty sure Xabi Alonso will want to play that way, to build out from the back, so he will need a new goalkeeper then.”
Harry Kane has won the European Golden Boot for the second time in his football career.
The award followed his impressive performance in the Bundesliga.
He scored 36 goals in 31 Bundesliga games for Vincent Kompany’s side during the 2025/26 season, collecting 72 points to finish as Europe’s top scorer across all domestic leagues.
It is noted that he finished just ahead of Erling Haaland.
Pep Guardiola reveals why he left Manchester City. It can be recalled that the manager recently left Man City, and now he has revealed his reason during an interaction with reporters.
He shared that he is running out of energy.
“I share the same feeling as when Jurgen Klopp left, I am running out of energy. I feel like I will not have the energy that is required for a game every three days, to fight for titles, being in front of the players every day.”
He then added that he believes the club should have a new manager with fresh energy to direct the team.
