To be honest at the beginning of the season I was one of those who doubted Chelsea, but now I have to admit that Chelsea are on a different level both in terms of player quality and performance on the field. Enzo Maresca is the right person and must be maintained, because he is the only consistent coach after Arne Slot. Several coaches such as Arteta and Pep Guardiola are indeed experiencing problems with inconsistency. So Chelsea chances of entering are a reflection for Liverpool to remain vigilant.
Not only you but everyone have concluded that Chelsea will not do somthing tangible this season and am not surprised, in football's anything can happen at the expense of how serious the club becomes, the moment Chelsea got a new coach the whole situation changed and no one expected them to actually turn things around like this in a short time, they play better now and there performance can not be compared with that of some clubs so they are currently making a difference in the market, and they actually deserve it because Chelsea have been seriously struggling in term of management and it's good that they are already getting it right.
And arteta mistake was from the beginning of this season from the pattern that he decide to play you don't play a defensive pattern and all of a sudden, patterns were changed it is actually very wrong of him to take does steps and it is already affecting them, and as for pep I love the fact that his experiencing this instead of just thinking they are the best were by the games, are no longer in his favor I wonder what is doing about it, to much challenges his facing right now.
The only club in a better position now is no more than Liverpool and the season as not gone far so does are the only clubs that seems to be okay now to win.
