What’s possible for Chelsea

Arsenal

First up is a London derby against league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates. To still have a chance at the title, The Gunners need to win every remaining game and hope Manchester City drops points somewhere. Mikel Arteta’s side has all the motivation going into the game and will look to bounce back after their heavy defeat against City. Although winless in the last four games, Arsenal has shown serious fight and scored goals in every game. In a derby and still chasing the trophy, Arsenal will be coming at Chelsea with everything they have to push their title charge as far as they can.

Bournemouth

The Blues then take a trip to Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth. The Cherries form is hit-and-miss. They have won three of their last five fixtures, including a 3-2 win over Tottenham Hotspurs but also lost 4-0 against West Ham United. The West Londoners can take all three points as both the teams have similar records this season and in the reverse fixture Chelsea won 2-0.

Nottingham Forest

On May 13, Nottingham Forest visit Stamford Bridge. The newcomers have struggled all season to keep up with the other teams and have been battling relegation. Out of the six remaining fixtures, if The Blues were favorites to win a game it would be this one. It will not be easy as Forest will be highly motivated to stay up and scrape any points they can. The London side only managed to get a 1-1 draw during their visit to City Ground.
