Chelsea have surprised us quite often this season by beating teams like Aston Villa, Man United, Newcastle and two weeks ago they beat Tottenham. Chelsea even held Man City to a draw. But sometimes this team also suddenly experiences bad luck again. But for now Chelsea looks better and more consistent. And if this continues then reaching rank 5 might be possible. But reaching rank 4 I don't think will be easy and I don't see the potential for that to happen. Luckily, Chelsea's remaining 3 matches this season are all easy matches. And against Brighton is probably the only one that looks like it will be quite difficult. Although Brighton this season is actually not that good.
Chelsea quite often experiences ups and downs in performance, where this season Pochettino fleet has experienced 11 defeats and 9 draws, 15 wins, and in total they have collected 54 points and sit in 7th place in the standings. Pochttino still has the opportunity to bring his team up the rankings again, with the remaining three matches they still have, I think these three matches will not be easy either.
The Blues performance is never uncertain, sometimes they play quite well against other big teams, but other times they collapse in front of mediocre clubs. For most of the season, Chelsea performance was never uncertain, they were far from consistent, and towards the end of the season the Blues had to work hard not to disappoint the fans again. Many people assume that Pochettino failed to manage Chelsea, and there are also those who think he is still worth keeping next season.
However, Pochettino and his fleet need to prove to fans that they can reach the European zone when the season ends. Chelsea must be able to secure full points and overcome the resistance of Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Bournemouth well. If successful, the Blues have the opportunity to overtake Newcastle or Tottenham, and of course they will finish better than United. If successful, Pochettino has the potential to be retained next season.
