Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has indicated that he feels Arsenal have joined the Premier League title race.
The Gunners are now within seven points of Mourinho's league leaders after beating West Ham United 3-0 on Saturday as the Blues were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Southampton.
Arsene Wenger's side have won their past five league outings to be knocking on the door of the top two (Chelsea and Manchester City) and Mourinho suggests they could have a say come season's end.
"More teams are in the race," Mourinho said, referring to the Gunners who next face Monaco in the Champions League.
"For me, which momentum? 3-1 against Monaco or 3-0 against West Ham? It depends on the momentum.
"If somebody tells me in August that at the end of March we are six points in front and one match in hand, I would sign immediately. No doubts."
