After being just three points away from the top of the Premier League at "Goodison Park", Chelsea has seen a significant decline in performance, losing 10 points from the last 12 available.

This poor run of results has put the London club in a difficult position, with Chelsea likely to find itself in 10th place if this trend continues into the second half of the current season.

Chelsea in Crisis: Can They Recover from Recent Setbacks?

The team’s tactical approach raises many questions, as manager Enzo Maresca has failed to fully exploit his players’ potential. The lineup and tactics seem mismatched with the team’s ambitions, making it increasingly difficult for Chelsea to challenge for the top spots. Moreover, giving trust to some players while overlooking others could have a negative impact on the overall performance.

From stumbling against Palace in Week 3 to a similar setback in Week 20, one key question remains: What has changed? Clearly, the issues persist, and the team continues to face significant challenges in achieving consistent results. Chelsea must correct its course quickly, or the gap with the league leaders may widen even further.
