Chelsea captain John Terry believes Liverpool are not title contenders, as it’s now down to Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal to battle the Premiership out.

Speaking after his side’s narrow win over Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, the 28-year old said:

We’re not going to settle for just maintaining the five-point gap. We want to increase that lead. Being honest, I think the title race is now down to three clubs – ourselves, United and Arsenal.

Liverpool have slipped away a bit and it’s going to be difficult for them to get back in the frame the way the top three are playing. But Arsenal are definitely contenders.

They are looking good, playing free-flowing football and scoring lots of goals. It will be interesting to see how they cope if they pick up injuries and lose key players.
