John Terry: Chelsea out of Premier League race, should focus on other trophies

John Terry says Chelsea won't win the Premier League this season.

Speaking on beIN Sports, the former Blues skipper said: "It’s been five years since we won the Premier League. Is that going to change this year? No.

"So you’re looking at the FA Cup, Carabao Cup, European Cup… it’s going to be tough.

"So then all of your eggs are going to be in two baskets domestically, and actually you need to keep players fit so do you rest and rotate players to make sure they get in the top four? What’s the priority? Only Potter will know that."

Asked if the Chelsea job is too big for Graham Potter, Terry replied: "I honestly don’t think it is. I think what he did at Brighton was incredible and their position in the league speaks for itself.

"When you speak to anyone within the training ground or around the place, what he’s done on the field has spoken for itself: the way he plays, the formation.

"But also the way he is with the players, and I think in this day and age if you’re a young manager you need to understand the players. And I think these young managers like him understand the players better than anybody and can relate to them."

Chelsea are eight points off league leaders Arsenal having picked up four wins so far.
