4. Teams will slip up
Not many of the top teams have had a poor run of form, which will happen to them sooner or later. Catching Manchester City or Arsenal might be a difficult task but having Leicester in the top three certainly wouldn’t last long. Leicester might well continue their great run, but injuries and a long list of fixtures will hit them as well. Manchester United aren’t playing all that great either and if Chelsea, when Chelsea get on a run, they could well catch the other teams.
5. Win the UEFA Champions League (A tough Shortcut )
The reason Roman wants the team to finish fourth is to qualify for the Champions League; Chelsea can however, secure a place in the competition by winning either European trophy. Winners of the Europa League and the Champions League qualify for next season’s competition and if Mourinho can win that elusive European trophy with Chelsea, he could make this season a success.
