At least Chelsea now is not too bad because they managed to be in the top 4 of the Premier league even though there are still many matches.
Maresca can be said to bring change, and at the beginning of the season maybe Maresca will change the plan for the better so just wait for his action.

If compared to last season's results, indeed this season, Chelsea is quite improving and that's quite good, at least for the time being they are in 4th position, yes although it is still quite risky to possibly drop back down, because the competition for the number of points is very tight with Man City, Newcastle, and also Brighton. So, Maresca must be able to make his team stronger and consistent to win, otherwise they could drop back to the top 6. This will greatly affect their table results at the end of the season. and the next match will be a very difficult match against Tottenham. in the last 5 matches, Chelsea's results have not been good, so if this continues, then they will be forced to drop down again.

My fear for Chelsa is the absence of form in Palmer. With him still struggling to find himself, Chelsea will keep struggling to win games. Manchester City will keep the chase for Champions League qualification until the last game of the season. Chelsea are at risk of losing their spot because they are the weakest of the top five teams in the EPL currently.

Chelsea has moved from not being title Contenders to not being top 4 contenders because Manchester City will kick them out of the top 4 at the end of the season.
Chelsea has lost its competitive edge, relying on average players in crucial matches while still aiming for a top-four finish by the end of the season. lol
Arsenal has been having pain since 20 years ago. So, don't tell me about that when they are doing the wrong things in the process.

Chelsea situation is not as bad as it seems. While they may not be a title Contender, they still possess a talented squad, the notion that man city will inevitably push them  out of top four is premature, despite Man City dominance they have also shown vulnerability this season they have also drop points this season against lesser team  while Manchester City is a formidable opponent,  Chelsea can still secure a top four finish.

It's not only City that's a threat to Chelsea because the fourth position is a target for City, Chelsea, and Newcastle. Any of these clubs that can be consistent enough till the end of the season would be the one that will qualify to UCL next season. I just hope that we don't see a different club on that position.

Are we going to see the bottom 3 teams now get relegated? The closest team to them is 9 points above them. Although there are still a few games left, I am quite skeptical that they can't do it.

They are not playing well and need a winning streak to save them, besides of course their competitors must suffer a defeat that takes away at least 9 points for them to catch up.

To me, I will say that the relegation teams have already been decided. This actually was the reason I said that Manchester United will not be relegated even at the height of their epileptic performance. I saw that the teams that we are in the bottom three had a very much point difference from the rest and I concluded that the relegation line has been drawn. Although, I expected Leicester city to escape this with the employment of Nesteroy, but it seems the worse happened to them. While talking, Southampton should be discounted because they were not ready for this season. They just wasted a slot for serious people.

Maresca said that they are not in any title race with any club, which means any position they appear in the Premier League table they are good with it. It's hard to say if they can achieve the 4th place spot with the clubs they are competing for the spot with. Even at that, Chelsea's performance has improved tremendously than the way it was in previous seasons. That's what the management and fans of Chelsea are glad about, for tremendous improvement in the team to appear at the top.

Premier League top fourth standings looks very interested because have many teams with fewest points left for awhile have opportunity finish there, I think not only Chelsea but also have Manchester City, Newcastle United, Brighton Albion and Fulham recently just two and four points left from Chelsea reach the big four standings position. If Chelsea loss three points upcoming match have possibility for Man City and Newcastle reach the top fourth standings.
For Arsenal and Nottingham Forest likely will secure the 2nd and 3rd standing because have many points left from Chelsea, the top fourth will interested until the end of this season.

We can't say that, because right now in the standings they are still above Manchester City which means they can still compete for that place.

It's too early to claim they can't be in the top 4 at the end of the season because this season they are different and they can show something very good in the competition unlike the previous season where they always had difficulties.

It will be a tough one for Chelsea to make it to the champions League sports because the competition is high because with the standing on the table the  only champions League sports left in the premier League is the fourth place because other places has already been occupied by Liverpool, arsenal and possible forest on third place so the only place that chelsea will be fighting for is the fourth place which will make it difficult for Chelsea to finish in the champions League sport but it is something that they can do if they are actually serious about it

It's definitely difficult, but that doesn't mean they can't win that place, they still have a great chance of getting it as long as they can win every game they play.

Looking at them this season, I give them a very big chance to finally be in the Champions League again next season. Now it's up to them, because the ones who can decide whether they deserve it or not are themselves.

Actually, I'm not seeing only Chelsea of been strip off their place in the 4th place on the Premier League table, I think even Nottingham Forest can be taken away from there place because right now, if they lose one more match and Chelsea and Manchester City win theirs, they will be a threat to there place on the table.

I know for a fact that Manchester City might not be doing well now as they are having jig time trying to win matches but if it's qualifying for the Champions League, they will go there for sure. Between Chelsea and Nottingham, one of them will have to live for Manchester City.

I hope I'm wrong Chelsea Fans at the start of the season stated that a successful season would be: Finishing in the top four and the UECL trophy.
Top 4 what was expected after finishing 5th last season and the end had anything below is a complete failure this year he will be judged on his finish if it's below 5th he won't be there next year because there's a 12-month break clause according to reports as Todd Boehly don't want a repeat of what happened with Potter.

I don't agree with you because with the way that Chelsea team has been improving even if Chelsea doesn't finish in the top four at the end of the season too I will not consider it as failure because Chelsea has really improved greatly, one thing that you need to know is that Chelsea is rebuilding so much expectations should not be put on them anywhere they finish in the premier League should be appropriated and if they can be able to win the Europa conference league then thank God for them but I can't say that Chelsea has failed because they did not finish in the top four place

I know for a fact that Manchester City might not be doing well now as they are having jig time trying to win matches but if it's qualifying for the Champions League, they will go there for sure. Between Chelsea and Nottingham, one of them will have to live for Manchester City.

Considering how everything has gone so far this season for Manchester City, I'm not sure I can still trust them with any form of expectation. They've lost numerous games in which they were the heavy favorites, and some games they had even decent lead but still fumbled them, I won't be surprised if they don't qualify for the Champions League next season, because their performance before the international break doesn't suggest that things are likely to change positively for them.

I can notice that they have had very high expectations they set for themselves are being translated to disappointments with what they have realised so far. Losing is considered to be something strange to this team since they comprise of winners and therefore the defeat received was strongly felt. This is not well with the team especially when they end up dropping the position they have maintained for several games. Their chances of reaching the first position may be even further if they do not come up with the solution soon. It is quite expected to feel that confidence in them is gradually dwindling especially when they have not demonstrated progress so far. Still, a team of such calibre does have potential to come back, but watching their form prior to the international break, a great change is not so easily expected.

Manchester City have bad performance in this season and almost over for premier league tittle race, only one opportunity left how can break the top fourth standings finish and secure UEFA Champion League spot for next season. Manchester City losses many crucial points in this season from unpredictable team, last match being draw by Brighton Albion and last two matches before defeating by Nottingham Forest.
Break to 3rd standings seems bit difficult behind 6 points left but still not close for the top fourth position with 1 point remaining from Chelsea.

I think I understand the angle he is coming from. Chelsea had a good run at the beginning of the season, they went straight to stay the top of the table and now they are struggling to even get fourth place which Manchester city will do anything to get and that's why the gentle man is not impress by their performance this season.

I think when you look back to what they have done this season to what they have done in the past season, this one is better but they shouldn't end it with bad result, there is still room for improvement.

[Uruhara]

Well, it's not just Man City that can now take 4th place from Chelsea. But Newcastle and Brighton could also take it if Chelsea fail to win in the next match. The difference in points between Chelsea, Man City, Newcastle and Brighton is only 1 to 2 points. And that's a slight difference that can change the ranking just through the results of the match in just 1 week. So the tension will now increase even more. Because every remaining match really cannot be wasted for any team.

Chelsea fans won't be happy to keep Enzo Maresca if he can't secure a top-four finish and win the conference league.
Chelsea has spent more than any other team in recent years- close to 2 billion.
Spending money and achievements are out of sync so far. And with their squad, the standard should be even higher.
But I think Maresca won't improve the team further. Chelsea needs a change, someone dynamic, bold, and unafraid to play to the strengths of these players. IMHO

What other action will Maresca take that he hasn't taken in Chelsea? What Maresca can highly do at this time is make sure Chelsea win their matches to remain in the top 4, which I know is a tough task for Chelsea to achieve because of the teams that they are dragging the 4th position with. Manchester City, Newcastle and Brighton are dragging the same position with them.

Do you think Chelsea can beat the mentioned teams from occupying the 4th position with their level of inconsistent performance
