Pep Guardiola giving instructions during Manchester City’s match against Real Madrid.
The Premier League title race just got even more interesting—because Pep Guardiola is no longer keeping his eyes on only Arsenal.
After Manchester City’s chaotic 5-4 win over Fulham, Guardiola openly confessed that Chelsea are starting to worry him in a very real way.
City’s victory cuts Arsenal’s lead to two points, although the Gunners can restore their five-point cushion with a win over Brentford. But while many expected the title race to be a two-horse sprint, Guardiola’s latest comments have officially made it three.
Speaking after the nine-goal thriller at Craven Cottage, Guardiola didn’t hide his admiration for what Enzo Maresca is building at Stamford Bridge.
With Chelsea coming off an impressive 1-1 draw against Arsenal—even after going down to ten men early due to Moises Caicedo’s red card—Pep believes they deserve more respect in the title conversation.
His words were clear:
“Chelsea impress me more and more every day with Enzo.”
That’s not the kind of line Pep drops casually. When he compliments a team, he means it.
Guardiola admitted chasing Arsenal will be “difficult,” but also reminded everyone that he’s the oldest and most experienced manager in the league, well-versed in long, grinding title battles.
His message?
City can’t afford a single slip.
Arsenal remain strong.
And Chelsea? They’re rising faster than many expected.
With Arsenal looking solid, City dangerous, and Chelsea increasingly confident under Maresca, the Premier League might be heading for one of its most dramatic run-ins in years.
One thing is certain—Pep Guardiola sees a storm coming from both London clubs, and he’s preparing for a long, exhausting race to the finish line.
