Chelsea were initially not rated too highly this season. Despite having just arrived at The Blues, coach Enzo Maresca has created an impressive style of play. At times, Chelsea were close to the team at the top of the Premier League, Liverpool.
However, the team at Stamford Bridge has not won in the last 2 matches. After drawing 0-0 with Everton, they continued to be defeated 2-1 by Fulham. This made Chelsea 7 points behind Liverpool and also played 1 more match than their opponent.
While many are talking about Chelsea's true colours, legend Alan Shearer remains optimistic. He believes the Blues will win the title sooner or later, according to Metro: "They are definitely coming back strong. Look at where Chelsea are now.
I still think they will finish in the top four, which would be a great achievement for them. I also think Chelsea will win the Conference League. They are certainly happy with what is happening at Stamford Bridge.”
Chelsea's chances of winning the Premier League are waning, but they are still dominating the Conference League. After six group stage matches, Enzo Maresca's side have won all six with a goal difference of 26-5. With the only top teams in the competition being Fiorentina and Real Betis, the Blues are expected to have no trouble winning the title at the end of the season.
Chelsea's last major trophy was the 2021 Club World Cup, when Russian billionaire Abramovich was still in charge. Since then, the Blues have been left empty-handed under new owner Todd Boehly. In the last two Premier League seasons, Chelsea have finished 12th and 6th.
