Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson believes Chelsea will "fancy their chances" of winning the Premier League title this season.
The Blues edged a five-goal thriller with Leeds United 3-2 on Saturday afternoon as Jorginho converted a stoppage time winner from the penalty spot at Stamford Bridge.
Earlier in the afternoon, Manchester City temporarily extended their advantage at the top of the table after a narrow 1-0 victory over Wolves at the Etihad Stadium.
Liverpool, meanwhile, also won 1-0 thanks to a Mohamed Salah penalty against Aston Villa at Anfield - meaning just two points separate City at the top and Chelsea in third, with the Reds sandwiched in between.
Robertson, who starred in Liverpool's win at Anfield, has now offered his thoughts on this enticing three-way title race and has made a claim regarding Chelsea's chances of lifting the trophy in May.
The Reds defender said: "We know there is not much room for error - they know that as well. We need to try to win games, we need to keep winning momentum and everything like that. I did not know we had all won with penalties, but it is what it is.
"Obviously Man City played before us, we knew they had got a crucial three points against Wolves and it was important that we kept the pressure on.
"Luckily, we have managed that and now we move on to Thursday."
He added: "Us and City have been here before and then Chelsea, since Tuchel came in, have been a really, really good team. Really solid, obviously winning the Champions League and they will fancy their chances this season."
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel, when speaking after the dramatic victory against Leeds, admitted that the Blues "desperately" needed the three points on Saturday.
Going into the game, Tuchel's team had lost back-to-back matches away at West Ham United and then Zenit Saint Petersburg in the UEFA Champions League - making the points even sweeter against the Whites.
Tuchel said: "I was confident that we maybe get one more chance and turn things around because we played very strongly in the first half and we showed again a good reaction after the equaliser.
"In between, we played maybe a little bit with the fear that we had something to lose, and we absolutely didn't want to lose what we worked so hard for.
"So yeah, there is always a bit of luck, of course, when you get such a late goal. But we've conceded two of them so maybe it was our turn.
"We needed this win desperately for the mood, the belief, for the atmosphere. I am very happy how we got it, I'm very happy how we played, and we have two days off now and it's a good feeling for the boys."
