Chelsea
Chelsea, though, started badly in the last weekend facing a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal. However, Avram Grant’s men have bounced back with a superb 2-0 victory over Liverpool last night in the Carling cup quarter final. Chelsea Captain John Terry thinks that their performance against Arsenal last weekend was not bad either as his side had more shot on target and corners in that match. Arsenal won by the only goal of William Gallas that ended Chelsea’s hope to come back strongly in the championship race. However, it is true that Chelsea still has chance to lift the title of this season in EPL despite impressive form of Arsenal and Manchester United at this moment in English premier league.

However, for that they now need to show consitant performance in the upcoming matches. For Chelsea fans, it is good news that Chelsea players got their confidence back defeating Liverpool by 2-0 last night after the early setback. Frank Lampard and Andriy Shevchenko scored the goals for Chelsea. So, it shows that Chelsea has the ability to win over the strong contenders without their injured striker Didier Drogba who has been impressive throughout this season before his falling in injury and getting out for few weeks.
In addition, Chelsea’s long time injured star midfielder Michael Ballack has come back with the match against Liverpool last night. He played well and it seems that he can play a vital role against Blackburn Rovers on next Sunday.
