Chelsea has had quite the undulating season, with unexpected wins and loss aplenty. Lampard’s men started off with a bitter 4-0 loss against Manchester United. There were a few more losses to follow but eventually, the relatively young squad really found it’s footing. Tammy Abraham was on track to be the top scorer in the league at one point and even now is not very far off. Chelsea is in the top 4 but has won only one of their last 5 matches, proving that it has been far from smooth sailing.
Manchester United conversely couldn’t have asked for a better start, having won 4-0 against the London based club. But they couldn’t make it last. Despite players like McTominay and Aaron Wan Bissaka showing high levels of consistency, the team racked up a fair amount of losses and are currently 9th on the table. Similarly, they have won 1 out of their last 5 matches.
