Opta’s supercomputer has cast a shadow over Chelsea’s late-season ambitions, predicting a sixth-place finish for Liam Rosenior’s side.
Chelsea’s grip on a top-five finish hasn’t loosened too much, but these next two games really are make-or-break for this season. After a 3–0 defeat to Everton, the Blues sit in sixth place, trailing fifth-placed Liverpool by a point, but Aston Villa and Man United are now six and seven points ahead.
The Blues face a brutal run-in that includes home clashes with Manchester City and Manchester United, alongside a trip to face Liverpool.
What makes things even more difficult for Liam Rosenior is the fact that Enzo Fernandez’s agent has hinted that he could leave if Champions League football isn’t secured.
And Opta Supercomputer’s prediction doesn’t bode well for Chelsea.
