Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has maintained that the Blues’ are firmly in the Premier League title race.
The west Londoners have shown a glimpse of improvement under new boss Graham Potter, who took charge of the club earlier in September after the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
Potter remains unbeaten across competitions since his switch to Stamford Bridge from Brighton, with the Englishman leading his charges to seven games unbeaten.
Chelsea currently sit fourth in the Premier League table with 20 points after the opening 10 matches despite settling for a goalless draw with Brentford on Wednesday night.
