Fan Poll: Chelsea’s League Position and Title Race Discussion

Given Chelsea’s apparently advantageous upcoming schedule, considering the current Premier League standings of their next opponents, a poll was conducted to ascertain public opinion on the team’s likely table position following their subsequent eight matches. The results, recorded at 17:30 GMT, are as follows: Top of the table – 15%; Second – 51%; Third – 23%; Fourth – 8%; Out of the top four – 3%. Participants were also invited to express their views on Chelsea’s involvement in the title race. A selection of these comments is presented below: Stevie: I agree with Enzo Maresca that it may be a little early for title talk, however, top four is a serious target now. If we could get top four and win the Conference League (completing the European trophy cabinet again) that would be a fantastic season.Thomas: Yes, of course we can compete – we welcome the pressure.Matthew: No we can’t. As much as we are all loving Chelsea’s performances this season, we are a young team, prone to mistakes and haven’t seen a lot of glory in recent times. As a fanbase, we mustn’t get carried away – bringing the Conference League and FA Cup to Stamford Bridge would be seen as a success. For sure, in future seasons we’ll go for the Premier League.Bill: Chelsea will surely overtake Liverpool before mid-January. When you look at the bench, you will agree with me that Chelsea is in for business. The systematic rotation of players for different competitions is the key. We understand other teams’ strategies, but we harmonize the players’ strengths and it’s working out perfectly.
