3 reasons why Chelsea might not get a top 4 finish

#1 Inconsistency

The Blues seem to lack consistency as they go on the game in and game out. The Blues have not been able to pull games together going on a long streak of games.

Graham Potters will be looking for a way to seek out this issue at Stamford Bridge

#2 Lack of strikers

The Blues are lacking in the final third and are having issues scoring goals. It is becoming worrisome as the load seems to be heavy on Kai Havertz this season.

Chelsea would need to sign a good striker that could help them score goals this season if they must have a chance to reach the top four.

#3 Injury issues

Chelsea has injury issues from Kante, Chilwell, Loftus-Cheek, James and so on hence, limiting their chance to have options in the squad. Keeping the Chelsea players fit would be a goal Graham Potter must look into if he must have the chance for a top-four finish this season
