DANNY MURPHY: It's a three-horse race! Chelsea's victory over Leeds proves they can compete with Liverpool and Man City... but I still have Guardiola's men as favourites

The most significant result on Saturday was Chelsea’s late win against Leeds.

We all expect Liverpool and Manchester City to contend for the title, so the big question has been whether Chelsea can stick with them.

To accumulate points and stay in the mix during a difficult time is a real mark of championship contenders, which makes me thinks we might have a genuine three-horse race this season.

The advantage for Liverpool and City is they have been able to pick a settled midfield three, which is such an important area.
