“Manchester City have not won anything yet” – Former Chelsea midfielder Geremi makes bold claim on Premier League title race
Former Chelsea player Geremi does not think Manchester City have won the Premier League title just yet while refusing to rule the Blues out of contention.
City are nine points clear of second-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand, after 24 games. However, they are 13 points clear of the Blues. Nevertheless, in an interview with Mirror Football, Stamford Bridge legend Geremi reminded City that they haven't won the league yet as he tried to rally the Blues:
"Manchester City have not won anything yet," Geremi said. "Mathematically (for Chelsea) it is still possible because when you look at it, there’s still a lot of matches to play. When you look at the difference in points, it’s only three or four matches, so I think when you are a footballer, you believe that this is still possible. Anything can happen in football."

The Blues will try and chase down the seemingly unstoppable force that is City as they look to win their first league title since 2017.
However, for all practical purposes, the Cityzens have all but won the coveted trophy. Pep Guardiola's men have consistently dominated the league, and they will now hope to replicate the same dominance to win their first UEFA Champions League title.
