What must be understood at this time is that Liverpool is already difficult to catch up with by all teams in the Premier League, let alone Chelsea who are currently in the top four of the standings, Arsenal alone who are still in second place in the standings find it very difficult to reduce the points gap with Liverpool who currently have a gap of 12 points with Arsenal. Moreover, for Chelsea whose distance is getting further away so that it can be considered less possible for Chelsea to shift several teams including Liverpool who are currently at the top of the standings.
It is impossible for Chelsea even from the beginning there was nothing that was worthy of being counted on from Chelsea to win the Premier League this season because in terms of quality and consistency Chelsea is not that good for this season but if you look at last season it must be admitted that Chelsea has improved this season.
For the Premier League title competition this season I think there are no more surprises, now Liverpool is quite solid at the top of the standings with a 12 point advantage, so I think no other team is able to catch up anymore.
Pochettino was main person behind success of this Chelsea because he has done good job and keep things on good level which helps Maresca for having good end of his first season at coach of Chelsea which is having strong case of ending their season in top five clubs even nine matches remaining and things can take changes, but their case is good for keeping this momentum.
Title race is already ended due to big lead of Liverpool while Arsenal is also set for keeping their spot as they are also having 58 points which are good even their injuries worries and workload hurting them badly, but they have done good job in this season. Many teams were able to have good performance which increase competitiveness and challenges at the top even few teams are had decline into their performance like Aston Villa and Bournemouth, Brighton is always amazing club.
