BT Sport pundit Michael Owen is expecting Chelsea to secure a top-four finish after witnessing their convincing 1-0 win over Liverpool.

Thomas Tuchel‘s side have moved up to fourth in the table following the result at Anfield last night, and Owen doesn’t think they will be dropping out of the Champions League places on current form:

“You’ve got the momentum, you’ve got the confidence and the self-belief, you’ve got a massive squad that is all chipping in so a great atmosphere around the place. You ride the crest of a wave, they’re not going anywhere. They are staying in the top four.”

“They’re not conceding goals, eight clean sheets in 10 games, they’ve only scored 11 goals. It’s not like they’re knocking the lights out they are a team that are probably scoring at the same race as Crystal Palace and Brighton, they’re just not conceding and they don’t look like it.”

Chelsea have played a game more than Everton and West Ham below them in the table but the fact that they are unbeaten since Tuchel’s arrival in January suggests they should be looking up, rather than down.

They are now just three points off Leicester in third, and four points behind Manchester United in second, heading into the final eleven games of the season.

Finishing runners-up to Manchester City is a real possibility if they can keep their performances levels up, and no Blues supporter would have predicted that at the turn of the year.
