Season Update - "It's Chelsea's season to lose now"

How time flies when your having fun as they say - and isn't SB and his merry Chelsea men having some fun this season. Riding a cloud of free flowing, (almost) injury free football all the way to the top of the English football ladder.

With little more than 10 games to still to play, lets be honest anything can happen, however many industry pundits have already declared it Chelsea's season to lose now.

SB deserves the credit thus far, however he'll need to step up his game for the reminder of the season as those lowly ranked teams will now no doubt muscle up in defence while they scrabble in that relegation battle for points.

Costa has been tremendous for Chelsea this season

The main challengers to Chelsea should they slip up (pardon the pun Steven Gerard), comes from the likes of Arsenal and Manchester United. At this stage Arsenal seem the most likely to finish top should Chelsea lose a few games, considering the wretched luck United has had this season by way of injuries.

"It's been a very unlucky season." JM spoke to MUTV yesterday.

"We've lost Zlatan and Pogba to long term injuries, and now Pogba is out again. We lost Martial, Rashford for a period, Eric Bailly...Valencia - its been very difficult to manage.
"But the loss of Zlatan at a time when he was really finding his feet here was the hardest to take."

Some might even say had Ibrahimovic not been out for such a period time the Red Devils may have given this title a serious run.

Zlatan and Pogba have been key to United this season despite long term injuries

In the Champions League things are less certain for Chelsea as they face a must win or draw game in their group in order to progress. Considering their European form this season it is by far from guaranteed.

Defending European Champions Manchester United on the other hand appear safely through as group winners with a game still to play.
"We just hope the next draw will be kind to us."

The season continues....
