It is uncertain whether Chelsea will be able to qualify for the Champions League. In the Premier League, teams are now competing for Champions League qualification. From Nottingham Forest, who are third in the points table, to Brighton, who are seventh, every team now has one target: Champions League qualification. Liverpool will win the title, it is certain. No team is competing for the title anymore. Now the teams are competing for third and fourth places in the table.
I am quite optimistic about the Chelsea team. However, if they want to keep their fourth place in the table, they will have to play well consistently. Chelsea have won two of their last five matches and lost three. Chelsea's performance needs to be strengthened.
The race for the top four is very tight, there is only a small point gap between 3rd to 7th place on the table. Their inconsistency this season coupled with a lack of right mentality and momentum makes it difficult to see Chelsea secure a top four finish. If Chelsea are really serious about securing a Champions League spot, they must improve their defense, as conceding cheap goals could prove costly in such a competitive race.
