The top four race in the Premier League is getting more and more interesting day by day. Chelsea’s win against Liverpool on Sunday has given them the hope to finish in the top positions in the Premier League Table after the end of the season. Chelsea have emerged victorious against the Reds with a margin of 1-0 at the Stamford Bridge. Olivier Giroud’s brilliant header in the first half was proved to be the winner at the end of the match. In the whole match we have not witnessed the brilliance of the Liverpool’s attacking trio comprising of Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah. Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 formation has worked well for the Blues in this match. Three centre backs of Chelsea namely Antonio Rudiger, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta have played exceptionally well to keep the hope of the Blues alive for a Champions League spot in the next season.
The Blues seemed to be out of the contention from the top four race after the defeat against Tottenham Hotspur one month back. After that, they have also drawn against West Ham in the London Derby to move 8 points behind the fourth placed Tottenham Hotspur side.

This 5 points deficit in the last two games might well cause a problem for the Reds to finish in the top four. They have only games left against Brighton and Hove Athletic. If they win the match they will finish in the top four. But any lose of point could be vital for them to finish in the top four in this season.
Tottenham Hotspur :
Tottenham Hotspur were defeated by another relegation threatened West Brom side in the previous match. They have two games left against Newcastle United and Leicester City. One defeat in those two matches can make things all difficult for them to finish in the top four of the Premier League.
Chelsea :
Chelsea can still finish in the top four if they can win their remaining games against Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United. The other results should go in their favour too. In this Premier League, any team can beat the other on their given day. So, it would not be very much impossible for the Blues to get a spot in the Champions League next season. They are the team in form now and
