Hopefully they don't run out of steam for the end of the season, if this defeat continues they will drop down the rankings.
Yeah, i honestly didn't know that Arsenal and Spurs are so close to Chelsea in the table, the blues are in 3rd position (having played 29 games) with 59 points, while Spurs are in 4th position (having played 30 games) with 54 points, with Arsenal in 5th (having played 28 games) with 54 points as well, thus the battle is no longer for only 4th position, but for 3rd and 4th position as nothing is decided yet. Arsenal have the advantage, and honestly i can see them overtaking Chelsea and claiming 3rd place, if they win their outstanding games and their crunch encounter with Chelsea coming up, then they will finish 3rd. Chelsea must up their game so they do not fall out of the CL spots entirely.
Yes, Chelsea, with their unexpected loss, complicated their tournament positions regarding the retention of third place. And if Arsenal wins and Crystal Palace, then the gap will generally be only two points. But some time ago Chelsea was the leader and not unreasonably claimed the title of the winner of the Premier League, while Arsenal, on the contrary, were mercilessly criticized in the first part of the championship and Arteta was clearly on the verge of being dismissed from the post of head coach of the team. And now, given the not-so-healthy situation around Chelsea, I wouldn't be surprised if Tottenham can also get closer to their London neighbors.
