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.”
Former footballer Thierry Henry has shared his thoughts on Arsenal’s match following their loss to Atlético Madrid on October 13.
Speaking during a brief interview on CBS Sports, Henry criticised the practice of players or coaches expressing certain opinions through the media instead of addressing issues directly within the dressing room.
“I’m not a coach anymore, but I always say, whoever speaks like that, out. Keep that in the dressing room, it’s as simple as that,” Henry said on CBS Sports.
“That is the only way it can work. You have to say those things to a person’s face… going through the press, I am not really a fan of that.”
Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique has shared his thoughts on the 2026 Ballon d’Or award, revealing that he hopes the winner will come from his team.
The manager spoke about how hard his players have worked and expressed his belief that they deserve the recognition.
“What I hope is that we win this trophy. We have players who deserve it.”
“Last year, we were the best team. We showed that it wasn’t just Ousmane Dembélé who deserved it.”
French football pundit Walid Acherchour has named Lamine Yamal as his pick to win the 2026 Ballon d’Or, sparking reactions among football fans.
Acherchour’s choice came as a surprise to some fans, who expected him to support fellow Frenchman Kylian Mbappé instead.
Speaking about his prediction, Acherchour expressed confidence in Yamal’s chances of winning the prestigious individual award.
“For me, Lamine Yamal, he is going to get it [2026 Ballon d’Or]. For me, there’s no doubt anymore,” Acherchour said, as quoted by Actu Foot. That start to the season shows that in fact, he was injured during the World Cup. He was the best player in La Liga, and he won the World Cup.
“Even if, for me, in fact, he doesn’t have the Ballon d’Or unanimously because his World Cup was average, even being average, he won it with Spain. He won La Liga with Barça.”
