Verdict:
Chelsea faces a very difficult final stretch for the top four finish. However, since the appointment of Thomas Tuchel, they have performed quite well despite a shock defeat to West Brom. They can however take some encouragement following their series of good performances, with both Westham and Liverpool deemed their greatest threat to clinch the top four.
With the season witnessing unpredictable results, it will require a brave decision to pick the top four teams. Despite the likes of both Leicester, Westham, and Liverpool rivaling the Blues, the remaining games, in one sense, mean qualification is very much in Chelsea’s hands.
