Oh, he will get a result alright. A three nil defeat.
Don't know about that. Arsenal's strength going forward is creativity from the wings, especially in transitions and Chelsea are remarkably strong at defending those situations and areas, it's a nice match up for them. If they set out to do what we did last night without the ball and they've recently done to Liverpool themselves (similar attacking style), isolating Saka and Martinelli (plus getting someone to drop from midfield and track Jesus when he drifts without compromising the central defence) letting both have space and the ball in safe areas but shutting them down closer to the area and cutting out their supply or running them into blind alleys in transition, they could easily stifle Arsenal and nick a result.
 
It's possible, even the players who were putting in performances earlier in the season are completely off the boil and you seem to be getting worse by the week. Plus, you've some tough fixtures left.
You're right.

Chelsea fans can only pray that there are three worse teams come the end of the season.

On form, I don't think there are three worse teams right now - the operative word here being 'team'.

There will be, you're safe. Nobody goes down with 39 points this season and there's too many head to heads and permutations in the table below.

The only tiny (and it's pretty microscopic in my opinion) ray of light in terms of us getting anything at all against the better Prem teams is that we are better on the break against teams who attack and play a high line.

If we are asked to break a low block we are generally clueless, and to be fair to Boehly, Potter, Lamps, that's been the case way before this season.
