[Chelsea](https://chelseanews.com/) just made a big statement in the Premier League this weekend with a 3-0 victory over Ange Postecoglou’s Nottingham Forest, sending the former Tottenham Hotspur manager back on the unemployment line.
But what’s next for Chelsea? Let’s make some quick predictions about how the Blues could do in their next seven games, which includes a trip to face the aforementioned Spurs.
First up this week is a battle at home against Ajax in the Champions League, and Jorrel Hato’s homecoming should amount to nothing less than a 2-0 victory for the Blues.
Without Cole Palmer, Chelsea’s attack will stumble in their return to the Premire League at home against a surprisingly strong Sunderland. But the Black Cats don’t have much going for them in the attack, and a late goal from the brilliant Estevao Willian will be enough for the Blues to squeak by 1-0.
Then Wolves on the road beckon, and while Wolves can historically be tough in their own grounds, they are arguably the worst team in the Premier League. Chelsea will annihilate them 3-0.
A road trip to Spurs will be the toughest matchup for Chelsea, and, by then, Thomas Frank will figure out a better attacking pattern. Spurs will be able to nick a point off Chelsea in a thrilling 2-2 draw.
After that, Qarabag have been the surprise side of the Champions League, but their clear luck will run out in the form of a 5-1 victory for Chelsea in which Joao Pedro grabs a hat trick and an assist in a statement game.
Wolves follow again, and this rematch at home will only yield further embarrassment for one of the Premier League’s worst-run clubs. Chelsea will torture them 6-0 in Jamie Bynoe-Gittens’s breakout game.
Finally, the last of the seven will be Burnley, and Chelsea will close out this streak of games undefeated with a gritty 2-1 win on the road, making up for a Robert Sanchez mistake early in the match with a clutch brace from newfound superstar Willian.
