Chelsea has now three opportunities to play against teams that are not in top shape in the Premier League. Perhaps this win against Dortmund now gives them a push and they can improve. If they started a winning streak now of three consecutive games, they would afterwards host the game against Liverpool and that could be their final chance to keep a realistic probability for the qualification for the international ranks in the table. I doubt that they can still make it 1-4, but if they win a lot of games the Europa League could still be achievable.
Chelsea doesn't even have that resilience to withstand Liverpool In a match as long as this tournament is concerned; they proved themselves Worthy of defeating any team since the very moment they got away with a cleansheet AGAINST Man U that ended in a 7:0 victory.It's not particularly about the goals conceived by Man U, it's about how uncoordinated thier gameplay was....the kept struggling as the goals kept banging in. Meanwhile, Liverpool has been in their worst forms this season before this big defeat, so I don't think any team would easily win a game against them just yet,...most especially as they've been able to secure the 5th position.

Hi Sandra
I agree with you, but the chance I see for Chelsea is that both teams are going through constant ups and downs. You never know how they are going to play their next game as their consistency is close to zero.
But you are right that Liverpool seems to have an edge over Chelsea as now that they are back to 5th position, there is something on the line again for them. That's not so much the case for Chelsea. In order for them to make it to position 1-4, they would have to do a lot of praying besides playing well!
But it is still a home game and Chelsea , on a lucky day, can certainly beat Liverpool. It is one of the more interesting games I am looking forward to.
