Despite Chelsea’s progress, standout player Cole Palmer has tempered title ambitions. Manager Slot also acknowledged Chelsea’s quality and potential, urging his team to remain focused.
Slot Highlights Need for Consistency
In his post-match comments, Slot stressed the importance of maintaining consistency throughout the season. “Winning against big teams like City or Madrid is significant, but it doesn’t guarantee a title. Sustained performance, player fitness, and high energy until the end are what matter,” he told Liverpool’s official site.
He further noted: “Chelsea and Arsenal are capable of similar winning streaks. We must stay grounded and prepared for the challenges ahead.”

Chelsea’s schedule includes fixtures against Southampton, Tottenham, Brentford, Everton, Fulham, and Ipswich Town. While Southampton’s struggles suggest a likely victory, tougher opponents like Spurs will provide a sterner test of Chelsea’s title ambitions.
