Chelsea legend John Obi Mikel is back with his weekly prediction of Premier League games, and as always, he picked a favourable result for his beloved former club.
The Blues are in the title race even though the manager, players and fans on social media keep denying or waving off questions about their contention for the trophy.

Their main opposition is Liverpool, going by the position on the table as the Reds have surprised everyone with their performances in Arne Slot’s first season at Anfield.
Manchester City and Arsenal, who have battled for the title race in the last two seasons, are not far off, but both have not been at their usual best, with the champions worse off.
Mikel predicts Premier League games
On his Obi One Podcast, Mikel shared his predictions for three games as his custom, particularly for the top two teams in the league this season.
“I'm going for three away wins,” he said. “Manchester City to beat Aston Villa at Villa Park. Chelsea has to beat Everton; of course, we have to beat Everton. Liverpool to beat Spurs, I hate to say it, but Liverpool to beat Spurs.”
His partner on the programme, Chris McHardy, predicted that all three games would end in a draw.
One of his predictions turned out to be false after Aston Villa beat Manchester City at Villa Park, compounding the woes of Pep Guardiola’s struggling side.
As noted by Eurosport, the result means City have one win in the last 12 games and Guardiola declared the title race over, claiming he doesn't have the players to compete.
