Chelsea is already at the bottom and it needs to take the small team seriously to make sure if Chelsea will able to win and get full points by the end of the season. UCL is the only trophy that can be won by chelsea. I see no chance for chelsea to be qualified for UCL if chelsea keeps losing more and more points in EPL. The good result against leeds didn't prove that chelsea backs on its best performance. Chelsea needs to win a few more matches in a row.
They don't stand at bottom of table but their position is not good. They have big gap with top four and with good forms of clubs in top six and above plus a very poor form of Chelsea, it is impossible for Chelsea to beat all above clubs and enter top four. They can pass through one or two above clubs but impossible to do it with all above clubs.
Chelsea was at the middle of table but it's still possible to go even lower than it. Im not sure if chelsea has been recovering from its bad performance. There are still more than 10 matches remaining. The performance from clubs that already at the top 4 are still inconsistent but i do agree if chelsea needs more than a miracle to win rest of matches in EPL. Chelsea will be facing some strong clubs at the end of season while it has been wasting so many chances to get full points from weak clubs.
If chelsea will not able to win EPL and we will not see chelsea play in the UCL next season. That will be very bad for chelsea.
