Ok would you be willing to take a 10:1 bet that Chelsea won't be relegated into the Championship? If you win, you get 10 mBTC. If I win, I get 1mBTC. I say they won't be relegated under any circumstances. Let me know if that is a bet you would like to accept and we will get someone reputable to quote our conversation and then we can settle it at the end of the season.
Crystal Palance vs. Everton ended in a draw, which is quite unsatisfactory for both as the game must now be repeated and both of them really don't need any additional games for nothing.
Thinking of a relegation for Chelsea is too pessimistic. They are not good as they used to be in previous seasons but they have yet been weak enough to be relegated. Their star players now can not compare to their legendary star players who won many titles for the club with the generation of Drogba, Lampard, Terry, Cole and more but those current players are able to secure a spot in Premier League for Cheslea.
I expect that Chelsea will start to recover in this season and will get a ticket to join either Conference League or Europa League in 2024 - 2025 season. It will be a good transitional achievement for them to become a giant in Premier League one or two seasons later.
Overall, Chelsea has played 1,210 matches in the Premier league and have won a total of 637, lose in 274 with a total goals counted at 2,045 goals and those are some interesting stats to know about the history and current situation of Chelsea in the league.
They can not survive in this season by relying on their record. To survive, they must fight hard and be strong enough to get enough points to stay in the league.
This season, Chelsea have played in 20 matches already with just 8 wins, 4 draws and another 8 loses that is equal to the matches won and a total point of 28 right now which have kept them in the 10th position of the table. Ordinarily, one would have expected to see Chelsea at the top of the table together with clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, West Ham Brighton amongst other clubs but unfortunately, they did not and this seems to be a similar outcome to what we saw in the last season which is going to glad.
The 10th position is not what they want but it is somewhat safe for them, far from relegation zone. Because they are a big club, they have to force themselves to improve and aim at higher position, like top 6 of the league. They must aim at Europa League in the next season and to have chance for playing there, they must play better and get a higher position in Premier League. Appearance of Aston Villa in top four will be a surprising barrier for Chelsea to end this season in top six.
