And next week's match will certainly be a determining factor for Chelsea, whether they will stay in fourth position or experience another decline to fifth position in the Premier League. Because next week Chelsea will compete against Manchester City. I think this match will be quite difficult for Chelsea. Because even though Manchester City's performance is currently in poor condition, I am sure Manchester City will not let Chelsea take the three points easily in this match. So Chelsea really has to prepare a good strategy to win the match against Manchester City next week.
This will be a slightly more difficult match for Chelsea because even though Manchester City's performance has not fully recovered, during a big match like this, Manchester City will certainly put more pressure on Chelsea, especially since the standings are very much determined by who will win the match. Manchester City is slowly starting to recover and they are starting to show big changes while Chelsea is also starting to experience a decline in previous performance so it will be a little more difficult to face the pressure in a big match like that. It is difficult to beat Manchester City and maybe considering a draw is much more likely to happen and even then Chelsea must be able to play better than before.
Of course this will be a tough match for Chelsea, especially since Manchester City is busy adding new ammunition to deepen the depth of its squad, especially for the defense line. and for the defender position there is the name Abdukodir Khusanov who was brought in from Lens and Vitor Reis from Palmeras, who will likely play one or maybe both when facing Chelsea.
and Chelsea who just won again when facing Wolves, now they are required to be able to maintain their position in the 4th standings. Considering the difference in points between Chelsea and Man City is only 2 points.
To achieve victory in this match seems quite difficult for Chelsea, especially since this is an away match, but if only to maintain the 4th position temporarily, then at least they must be able to hold Man City to a draw.
