Two wins in a row in the Premier League and Conference League: Chelsea hadn’t won two consecutive games since December. In the last round of the league, the Blues crushed bottom-of-the-table Southampton 4-0, while last Thursday they narrowly beat Danish side Copenhagen 2-1, putting them on course for qualification to the quarter-finals of the tournament, where they remain favorites to win the title.
In any case, these are two opponents well within the reach of Enzo Maresca’s team, who face tougher tests in the coming weeks. Before the two derbies with Arsenal and Tottenham, however, the Londoners will face another team languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table and seemingly destined for relegation to the Championship: Leicester. The Foxes also lost to West Ham in their last midweek match—their fourth consecutive defeat—and have now failed to score in four games in a row. Vardy and his teammates find themselves in an almost desperate situation, second from bottom and five points adrift of safety. However, the club seems to still have faith in Dutch coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, who has been confirmed despite the long and worrying run of poor results.
The prediction
Another winnable game for Chelsea, which the Blues should take advantage of to consolidate fifth place and try to overtake fourth-placed Manchester City. As against Southampton, the Londoners will in all likelihood manage to keep a clean sheet.
