I’m in two minds about this complete title discuss. Chelsea ARE factually in a title race. As a result of if you take a look at the league desk, on the time of writing [Sunday morning], Chelsea are second within the league and simply 5 factors behind Liverpool. We will cut back that to only one tonight if we beat Brentford.
However in actuality, it’s completely different. We will nonetheless see some vulnerabilities, primarily on the again. And there are going to be many powerful video games and banana skins arising. It’s nonetheless going to be very up and down, and there’s a lengthy strategy to go. We’ve got to anticipate that.
Nonetheless, if you take a look at how the groups round Chelsea are doing proper now on present type, I ask the easy query, is there ever going to be a greater alternative to problem for a Premier League title than this season? And I’m not simply asking that to Chelsea, I’m asking that to any membership in or across the high 6-8 proper now, as a result of it’s so tight up there.
Even Liverpool should not precisely being invisible proper now and are greater than beatable. Arsenal are in some struggling type, and we are able to all see what is occurring at Manchester Metropolis. These three have been purported to be clear title challengers pulling away from everybody else, however they’re not, so this can be a large alternative. We will actually take advantage of that.
It’s a extremely powerful scenario although, as a result of none of us wish to get carried away and we see the realities, however on the similar time I don’t know if we are going to see this craziness once more and the way open this league is on the high proper now.
Liverpool drew with Fulham yesterday, and Arsenal have been held by Everton. These are huge probabilities now for Chelsea to advance. The ball could be very a lot in our court docket, and it’s as much as us what we do with it.
Keep in mind when the membership stored pointing at Arsenal for instance of our mission needing time? Effectively, they’re now in decline….
Arsenal’s Premier League factors tally after 16 video games throughout the final three seasons:
2022/23: 43 factors
2023/24: 39 factors
2024/25: 30 factors
Chelsea’s time to shine? The league is sort of begging for a membership to step up and take the reigns. It’s actually there for the taking.
Perhaps this has come a season too quickly for Chelsea, however the details are there. I hate having to jot down these type of articles on match day earlier than a sport is performed, as a result of I don’t know how in the present day’s sport goes to go. Brentford are a little bit of a bogey staff for us, however how we truthful tonight might actually elevate us to everybody genuinely calling us actual title challengers, or we might be humbled ever so barely too.
Both manner, what a chance for groups to maximise off the demise of different golf equipment. Though having stated that, I’m by no means going to jot down off a Pep Guardiola managed membership thoughts, not to mention Manchester Metropolis. And I additionally anticipate Arsenal to enhance once more too.
