Chelsea’s Premier League title ambitions have taken on new significance following slip-ups by Arsenal and Liverpool this weekend.
Arsenal’s goalless draw against Everton and Liverpool’s 2-2 stalemate with Fulham have provided Chelsea with a golden opportunity to close the gap at the top when they host Brentford at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.
Chelsea are five points behind leaders Liverpool, having played the same number of games. Arsenal are one point behind the Blues after their frustrating draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Enzo Maersca’s side have won four in a row to jump into the title race, with their attacking potency led by Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson drawing widespread praise.
Maresca has consistently downplayed Chelsea’s title prospects, citing the team’s lack of readiness.
“You can smell that, you can feel that – and that is probably why I said we are not ready,” he explained. “The only way to fight for something is to focus on the day-by-day.”
However, Chelsea’s performances suggest otherwise. Their attacking output is among the best in the England, and they are unbeaten in the Premier League since October.
The Blues’ strong away record has been key to their resurgence, but their home form remains inconsistent, with only three wins in seven games at Stamford Bridge.
Brentford, known for their defensive organisation and tactical discipline, will pose a stern test.
The Bees’ manager, Thomas Frank, labelled Chelsea ‘the best team in the Premier League right now’, highlighting their offensive depth and Maresca’s tactical acumen.
Sunday’s fixture will also test Chelsea’s ability to navigate a hectic schedule following their midweek Europa Conference League trip to Kazakhstan.
A win against Brentford would extend their unbeaten run, heap pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal, and further fuel growing belief in their title chances.
While Maresca preaches patience, Chelsea’s current trajectory suggests they have the quality and momentum to defy expectations and challenge for the Premier League crown.
