Chelsea’s Chances of Breaking into the Top 4 Just 12.77%
According to a study released by the Soccerex Transfer Review, Chelsea’s chances of breaking into the top four in the Premier League this season were determined to be just 12.77%.
What the Study Revealed
The study found that the Blues’ chances of making the UEFA Champions League were weighed down by the number of Championship clubs on their heels, as well as the large gap that has opened up between the top sides in the top six compared to the rest of the Premier League.
The study also showed that the Blues have had an inconsistent start to the campaign, with recent wins and losses not helping their cause in progressing towards the top four. The results leave Chelsea with little room for error if they hope to break into the top four.
What is at Stake for Chelsea?
Making it into the top four would give Chelsea the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Champions League, a competition that every team wants to be part of. It would also provide the club with the financial resources that come with joining Europe’s elite.
It would also provide Chelsea with the opportunity to attract top level players from around Europe. With the transfer windows closing shortly, Chelsea would need to act quick if they want to make any late signings.
How Can Chelsea Improve their Chances?
In order for Chelsea to improve their chances of breaking into the top four, they must remain consistent. This means that they must string together a long run of wins in order to catch up to the top sides.
The club must also focus on playing attractive, attacking football which will help them to score more goals and win more matches.
Chelsea must also look to strengthen their squad should they have any room in the transfer window. Adding depth and quality to the squad will increase their chances of making the top four.
Conclusion
Although Chelsea has been having an inconsistent start to the season, there is still a chance for them to break into the top four. If the club can remain consistent, play attractive attacking football, and add a few quality signings to the squad, they may have a chance to get back into Europe’s elite.
