Maybe the Manchester City Football Club has not been able to win their last match, before we saw that Manchester City was able to draw against the Brighton football team in the Premier League. So as you mentioned, it may not be correct, if they had been able to win then maybe Chelsea Football Club would have been fifth in the points table and Manchester City Football Club would be in fourth place in the points table. In fact, I think there is probably a lot of competition between City and Chelsea for this Premier League spot right now but Manchester City is a much more balanced team than them, so they will probably try their hardest to stay in that position and other teams will not be able to easily surpass them.
Manchester City seems favorite to qualify for the UCL tournament this season because I don't understand what Chelsea is doing in 4th position when they can not hold their ground. However both teams are losing points and failing woefully to stand their ground and compete for the top four. The Citizens manager, Pep Guardiola is optimistic about his club qualifying for the UCL tournament next season, can we say the same for the Blues? Enzo Maresca is mediocre coach, we've all affirm this fact. Chelsea are not supposed to be in this zone because they got everything to compete for the EPL title but what did the coach do? He was reluctant and denied every fact about the club ambition to win the league.
Chelsea may perform very well if they qualify for champions League no one can really tell teams that will perform well next season like they say football is unpredictable the Manchester City you are talking about may not even perform well like expected because till now I really don't know why Manchester city is not inform like before they still have all the players they need to be inform so what could be the problem or is it the absent of Rodri well I really don't think so however I believe from next season Rodri may come back if he those and they come back to form that means he is the key player in the team, for now I won't point at a particular team as being the best when it comes to next season champions League I'm not a seer, pep guardiola is a very good coach and I know he really wants to qualify for the champions League but he needs to work more hard because Chelsea also wants to qualify, the season is almost ending so let's see how it will look like I really can't predict between Chelsea and Manchester City who will qualify for champions League but good to any team that those.
On good thing about football is that anything can happen, nothing is promised, but in the case of which team that might qualify for a place in the uefa champions league, honest I see it as a three horse race for the third and fourth position, because Nottingham Forest that are occupying the third position are not even safe, they can still drop down if they are not consistent enough to be winning games and maintaining their position there.
As for the likes of Manchester city and Chelsea, they are just bang average right now, and if I would be making a prediction on which of them I would love seeing next season in the uefa champions league, it would be Manchester city because am very confident in the abilities of pep guardiola, I know that he can turn this Manchester city team around back to the Manchester city we are all used to, but with Chelsea, reverse is the case here, they are just a rubbish club right now, since Todd boehly and his associates took over the club, they have practically turn Chelsea to a small team, so they aren't needed in the uefa champions league because they will just go and share point there and later crash out.
