Arsenal legend Thierry Henry claims Chelsea manager Antonio Conte enjoyed a perfect weekend as his side won and Liverpool were held to a draw with Manchester United.
The Blues responded from a loss against Tottenham Hotspur brilliantly as they beat Leicester City 3-0 at the King Power Stadium, with Chelsea also without star striker Diego Costa.
Liverpool further gave Conte something to be happy about on Sunday as they conceded a late equaliser against Manchester United at Old Trafford, and were forced to settle for a point.
Henry believes the Premier League title is Chelsea’s for the taking because they are too strong compared to the teams just below them.
“It was perfect for Chelsea that Manchester United and Liverpool drew,” the Frenchman told Sky Sports.
“They bounced back at Leicester from their defeat to Tottenham.
“Can anyone stop them? And can anyone capitalise on them losing points? At the moment, it looks like it’s Chelsea’s title to lose.”
Chelsea’s win at Leicester bumped their lead at the Premier League summit to seven points, with 17 games left to play of the campaign.
