CHRIS SUTTON: I'm still tipping Chelsea to lift the Premier League title... but they need to get Romelu Lukaku fit and firing to have a chance

At 12.30pm, it was Chelsea who were top. At 5pm, it was Liverpool. At 7.30pm, it was Manchester City. It’s anyone’s guess who wins it.

I’ve tipped Chelsea to emerge as eventual champions. A stumble here and there — defeat at West Ham, drawing at home to Burnley — won’t make me change my mind.

Although Chelsea do need to get back on track and get Romelu Lukaku fit and firing, like he was at the start of this season.
