Liverpool have a much heavier schedule in the next five matches because they have to face Tottenham, Man United and Nottingham Forest and if they are unable to maximize the three matches, it is likely that Chelsea will be able to win the first position. The next five matches Chelsea will face a much easier match because it will not face a much stronger team, so Chelsea's chances of catching up points from Liverpool are very large.
This is the best opportunity for Chelsea but it takes consistency to be able to collect full points in the five matches. Enzo Marsca will definitely understand this opportunity will be a big hope for them and surely he will provide much better results to be able to rank first in the standings.
In my opinion, the only big game Liverpool have is Manchester United. I don't think Tottenham has the squad depth to win Liverpool irrespective of where the match will be played, Liverpool will be more vigilant against Nottingham Forest as they were able to defeat Liverpool at Anfield. Liverpool will be looking to avoid another embarrassing result again. Chelsea manager have said that they are not interested in fighting for the league title this season, personally I don't think they have what it takes to displace Liverpool form the first position.
It won't be fair to underestimate a team before the game kick-off, maybe lets wait for the ball to bounce then we can say Tottenham Hotspur will be defeated by Liverpool but for now we can't be so sure on that. Nottingham forest this season is one underdog team in the EPL that this season has been creating much trouble to bigger teams than when they've to play with teams of their level. Liverpool would have to be careful and we'll tactical to avoid losing points to them for a second time especially now they will be playing from away. As for Chelsea, the manager has constantly reminded the world that they are not after the trophy and maybe we have to accept that for now and see how it goes for them by March next year.
