News - Chelsea

Chelsea came from a creditable draw against Manchester City where they even deserved more. They took the lead with a goal from Sterling, a former Sky Blues player, but Rodri's goal in the final stretch prevented Pochettino's team from taking the three points from the Etihad Stadium. 

They have now gone three games in a row without a win. They are currently tenth with 35 points, far from the European places, 12 points behind fifth place. With 15 points clear of the relegation places, they are in a noble position, but it is a club that aspires to much more. Since the 2021/22 season, where they finished in third position, they have been outside the European places. They are also still in the FA Cup where they qualified for the round of 16 after beating Aston Villa 1-3. 

Chelsea is the fourth team tied with Aston Villa with more Carabao Cup in their trophy cabinet, in total they have five titles. They have also been runners-up four times. Nine years since the last time they lifted this trophy, the most recent was in 2015. While already in 2019 they disputed the final and lost it on penalties against Manchester City.
