Chelsea are also in trouble undoubtedly. I don't expect them to finish the season ahead of Liverpool honestly. Liverpool have a more capable attacking line at the moment. Maybe they have weaknesses in defense just as Chelsea but they have many game changers at the same time.
The crushing defeat suffered by Chelsea this week against Brighton 4-1 really worsened Chelsea's image in the EPL this season. However, a big club shouldn't have to suffer an extraordinary defeat from a mediocre club. Indeed, currently, both Chelsea and Liverpool often experience underperformance. It looks like next season the two clubs will not enter either the UCL or the Europa League. What a pity.
