I never saw this coming, Chelsea been placed under probability of making it to the champions league even after a very good start to the season for them. Even when they fumbled at some point, I was still optimistic and having big hopes on them to bounce back and retain the top four positions. Chelsea should be a rather disgrace if they don’t make it to the champions league. With the teams occupying the first five positions on the league table, it is almost not certain Chelsea can do anything again unless a miracle happens for them. Those teams are consistent and I feel it’ll not be easy for Chelsea to replace any of them on the table standings as it is now.
Chelsea's performance at the beginning of the season was quite good. But at the moment, Chelsea's performance is erratic. Chelsea has drawn in the last two matches. Now if Chelsea fails to continue the winning streak, then it will not be possible for them to be in the top 5 of the table. At the moment, Chelsea is in the sixth place in the table with 54 points from 32 matches.
Guardiola will now try his best to continue the winning streak and stay in the top 5 of the table. Also, AstonVilla's overall performance is also stronger than Chelsea. Although Nottingham Forest's performance is a little weak now, they have a big chance of making a comeback. So the possibility of Chelsea staying in the top 5 of the table and qualifying for the Champions League is a little low at the moment.
