It was a roller coaster campaign for Chelsea during the first year of Enzo Maresca.
A dubious pre-season and a few weeks of the campaign were followed by a powerful impressive run, in which Chelsea briefly dreamed of a Premier League title challenge, but the blues have declined back to earth since the year.
The last two months of the campaign will prove to be decisive for Maresca’s men if they follow a positive end of a stormy season, with a lot to play on Stamford Bridge.
Here are Chelsea’s destinations and ambitions between now and the conclusion of the campaign.
Chelsea is the 15th in the Premier League table based on the results in the last five games, which has been pointed out by their fights since the beginning of the calendar year. In 2025 you won only four of your ten league games and, as a result, got their qualifications under control of the Champions League.
This was the inconsistency of the people around them, Chelsea is still below the top four, one point ahead of the competitors Manchester City in fifth place. The gap between itself and Bournemouth in the tenth is only five points, as a number of teams fight for a berth of the Champions League.
Chelsea has some challenging games of the Premier League to navigate when they secure their return to the leading competition in Europe, with the blues show quick signs of improvement.
Injured returnees should strengthen their squad after the international break and Maresca will be interested in the fact that Talisman Cole Palmer shoots again at all cylinders. But their place in the top 4 is anything but safe and you cannot afford much more slip-ups by the end of the campaign.
Chelsea was the out of control to win the Europa Conference League since he started the competition at the beginning of the season. Six victories from six during the league phase served as a further memory of their superiority.
Now in the quarter -finals, Chelsea has an attractive path to the final. In the last eight legs against Legia Warsaw you will fight two legs and will be faced with either a fast Vienna or Djurgardens in the half year. Fiorentina or Real Betis look their most likely opponents in the showpiece event in Poland.
Anything but the victory in the conference league would be regarded as a considerable failure in view of the depth, quality and assets of Chelsea’s squad. It is her only chance to secure silver in Maresca’s debut campaign, and you should realistically roll into the trophy.
Chelsea will prepare a busy time ago in which you will also compete at the FIFA Club World Championship. With less time to complete business than in previous years, the blues have to plan in advance.
The outfit in West -London is always one of the most active participants in the transfer window in relation to income -they have already agreed business for two sporty CP wonderkids -but Maresca has to make crunch decisions about those he keeps in his squad next season.
Loanee like Axel Disasi, Ben Chilwell and Raheem Sterling have to be unloaded, but Maresca also has to decide on the future of the marginal players who are currently in his facility.
Christopher Nkunku, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and even summer that Jadon Sancho signed, in the past few months of the campaign, the last opportunity for peripheral figures could be convincing Maresca that they are worth sticking to it.
Chelsea will hope to organize five games of the conference league in the last two months of the campaign, starting with her double bill against Legia Warsaw, but the blues are only guaranteed nine more games from the Premier League.
Shortly after the international break, you face a fast London London clashes and greet Tottenham Hotspur in Stamford Bridge before taking the short trip to Brentford. Fighting Ipswich Town is next for Chelsea, who were defeated by the tractor boys in their last game of 2024.
Another duel in West London with Fulham takes place after her second leg against Legia, followed by a double from Merseyside. One last trip to Goodison Park to face Everton will have a difficult challenge before Tafel Topper Liverpool undertakes the trip to the capital in early May.
A hard end of the campaign could hinder Chelsea’s top four offer, and Newcastle United, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest, the last three games of the Premier League campaign.
