Chelsea currently top the Premier League table with 55 points and are 8 points clear at the top. The Blues are on course to win the league this season. However, former Premier League striker Steve Claridge, who’s now a pundit, believes if Chelsea can beat Liverpool and Arsenal, they’ll go on to win the league.

The pundit was impressed with the way Chelsea beat Hull City, and said that if Chelsea can win the two upcoming games against Liverpool and Arsenal, Chelsea will win the league hands down.

The BBC pundit said: “Yet again they’re picking up points against a protagonist who you think might have been able to put a little bit of pressure on them.

“They just keep doing what they do well. They didn’t concede. That’s 14 clean sheets and that does it for you.

“They are where they are because they don’t concede, they’re the most consistent.

“Two big games coming up, Arsenal and Liverpool. If they win both of them, you’ve probably got to shake hands and say: ‘It’s yours.'”
