Chelsea still have a chance to win a title this season despite having a really bad form meanwhile. I mean the EFL Cup title by the way. Because they have reached the semi finals and they will probably won't have big issues against Middlesbrough as well. However the main threat there will be Liverpool as they would also eliminate Fulham to reach the final stage.

I would expect Liverpool to be as determined as Chelsea to win this title honestly. Because Klopp is also trying to make a big progress after an inadequate level of performance in the last season. But let's see. Chelsea had better give their best for the title.
Winning trophies is great obviously but the EFL Cup is no compensation for Chelsea’s performances the last 18 months. They have spent £1,500,000,000 on mostly crap players. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a badly run club in over 30 years watching football.
Their mismanagement of funds in the transfer market under Boehly’s stewardship has been calamitous. They have been a joke of a club for a while now.
