I totally concur with your assessment about Chelsea being one of the most interesting teams this season because they really played beyond people’s expectations from the beginning of the season. I could’ve sworn they swapped places with Manchester City, judging from their past performances.
They’ve had some pretty good and significant wins and victories this season, and if not for those lost points, they would’ve had some much better ranking right now, but I guess it’s still not too late to turn the table around for the better; if they start now by focusing more on growing their points, I’m sure they’ll be able to make some pretty great progress by the end of the season.
What Chelsea has achieved this season has actually exceeded what people expected of this club. Just competing in the top 4 is already a rapid progress shown by this club this season with Enzo. And even if Chelsea hadn't dropped a few points in the last few weeks, maybe Chelsea could now be more competitive in the title race. But it seems that Chelsea will only fight for tickets to the UCL this season.
In the European Conference League, we also see Chelsea's performance which never disappoints. Chelsea continues to win with big scores. And Chelsea in the Conference League is currently truly at the top with 6 consecutive wins without ever losing at all. And I think from the middle of this season Chelsea will also bounce back in the Premier League. But the problem is that the next match against Bournemouth looks like it will be quite a fierce match. But I will still favorite Chelsea.
