“And a few weeks ago, I think they were in a spot whereby I thought Villa were in free fall and that Chelsea, Liverpool and United would get that third, fourth, fifth spot. “I actually think now that Chelsea are going to miss out because of what’s happened in this last few weeks and where they’re at” Chelsea’s recent form supports that view. Five defeats in their last six games, including a 3-0 loss to Manchester City , have disrupted their campaign and allowed rivals to gain ground.

Champions League qualification remains a central objective, and recent results have placed them in a strong position heading into a demanding schedule.
