The Blues have slightly improved their position – but there’s still a lot to do.
Chelsea defeated Burnley 2-0 in the opening Premier League fixture on Sunday, January 31, so that they could watch how their opponents in the top-4 race fare.
Most of the remaining results went our way: Leicester were beaten 3-1 by Leeds at the home ground, while Spurs lost at Brighton 1-0.
Liverpool, meanwhile, won at West Ham 3-1 to leave them in 5th (embarrassingly, they are the highest-placed London club).
Still, Chelsea have to make up a lot of ground, as they are 6 points off 4th-placed Leicester.
The Blues themselves are 7th, although Everton and Aston Villa have two games in hand each and have every chance to leapfrog Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Here’s the top half of the table after Sunday’s games:
