I believe most Chelsea followers have accepted that we are going to not be ending within the prime 4 now this season. However there’s nonetheless a slight perception there from some.
For Chelsea to take action although, they merely need to beat West Ham on Saturday, as a result of these are the video games they merely need to win.
Chelsea would have had an eight day relaxation by the point we face West Ham on Saturday, after drawing with Fulham final Friday.
All of us thought the little break we had final time round would have a constructive affect, but it surely didn’t make a whole lot of distinction. It does give an opportunity for the returning injured gamers to get fitter, and the brand new signings to coach extra and study extra what Graham Potter desires from them. So there’s definitely positives from that.
Chelsea make the brief journey to West Ham on Saturday for the lunchtime kick off within the Premier League, and it’s one other massive probability to restart our season and make a push again up the league desk.
West Ham are in a relegation battle proper now, and on paper, Chelsea are superior. However as I mentioned earlier than Fulham, if we need to stand any probability in any respect of climbing again up the league and getting prime six or prime 4 even, then we merely HAVE to win video games like Fulham, and video games like this. There’s no two methods about it. We will’t preserve dropping factors right here.
West Ham have executed a bit of higher of their final couple of video games as nicely. They acquired a draw in opposition to Newcastle, and earlier than that, they beat Everton. So their confidence ranges are definitely removed from all-time low.
Chelsea have a brand new crew and try to gel and construct that rapport, in addition to get the returning injured gamers again to match health.
When it comes to outcome, I’m nonetheless comparatively assured that we are able to get the three factors. I acquired my confidence thrown again in my face by Chelsea final weekend, however I’m preserving some hope that with the brand new signings and the returning injured gamers getting again to health and having one other weeks coaching in them, that we are able to do one thing right here. However my principal confidence comes from Felix being again in. A participant who truly takes pictures and might make issues occur.
Chelsea nonetheless have a slight probability of constructing prime 4 at this level, however no win on Saturday drastically reduces it.
