Gary Neville gave a blunt assessment of Chelsea's hopes of challenging for Premier League honours ahead of table-topping Arsenal's visit to Stamford Bridge next Sunday.
Mikel Arteta's side burnished their title-winning credentials at home against their loathed rivals Tottenham, routing their north London derby foes 4-1 thanks in large part to an astonishing Eberechi Eze hat-trick just months after the two teams' transfer tussle over the former Crystal Palace star.
Chelsea meanwhile saw out out a reassuring 2-0 win against Burnley on the road at Turf Moor, with goals from Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez lifting the Blues up to second in the standings as results elsewhere went their way.
