I wouldn't give the praises to Chelsea yet not until they show us if this consistency will continue, for Manchester United they're just having internal problem that bave affected the whole squad, not even the coach can solve this problem.
Both teams (Chelsea and Man UTD) are still living in past glory and somehow they're having too much expectations despite their poor performance and I'll say Man UTD are not showing any sign of improvement to secure their spot to qualify for UEL next season because if you say champions league I don't see them getting close meanwhile UTD are going to host Palace tomorrow and from how I see it Manchester United don't have a team they can beat without pressure in the EPL this season, Crystal can even make things worst for them by winning or playing a draw, if that happens you might see the Blues topping UTD and I feel it will happen.
In fact, neither Chelsea nor United, we can trust completely this season, where they have never consistently won. In the final third Chelsea started to improve a little, but the opposite happened to United, and to be honest both teams seemed to have turned into average teams. Currently Chelsea and United have both collected 54 points, it's just that the Ten Hag fleet has not finished their match this week.
If United stumbles by Crystal Palace, then Chelsea will automatically stay in 7th place in the standings, and will compete to finish in the European zone in the remaining 3 matches in the future. The opportunity to finish in the Europa League zone is actually quite open, with Tottenham currently in a slump, this opportunity will certainly be utilized well by Newcastle, Chelsea and United who are below it.
The Blues managed to pick up a big win in their previous game, and it shows little hope that they can finish in a better place than United. Despite the fact that these two teams have nothing to be proud of, both receive more criticism than praise. More than their manager, in this case Ten Hag has been sprayed more by fans for The Red Devils poor performance this season.
