Chelsea can perform better this season than the previous season, now they are in the top 4 of the standings which was very difficult for them to get in previous seasons. However, their opponents are also quite good this week, so this also cannot be an easy match for Chelsea, although I agree that their chances of winning the match are greater than their opponents. Bournemouth, cannot be underestimated at all, they can also show when facing a team that on paper is better than them, they can provide quite good resistance, so Chelsea must be careful.
Well they still have many games ahead to play and until they have less than ten games remaining then I can say they are a good team and probably have the contending potential for the trophy but for now I cannot give them that credits because they are still looking inconsistent, literally in the last five games, they have struggled to get a win, as they lost one and drew the other four so a possible chance of decline may be something they may face soonest so I rather give room for that time for them to prove themselves before I will be able to assume their chances around the possibility of them winning the title or maintaining a position at top four and probably been able to secure a spot at the UCL next season after a very long time.
