Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez has said there are at least five teams in the Premier League title race.

As it stands, Arsenal currently hold a five-point lead at the top after losing only one of their first 13 matches.
Manchester City are in second place, while the top five is completed by Chelsea, Aston Villa and Brighton.Although Liverpool are in the eighth spot, Fernandez still regards the champions as contenders.
“Of course we are [title contenders],” Fernandez told GiveMeSport.
“This season, there are many contenders: Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United. All the teams are battling towards the top. There are some very strong Premier League sides.”
