4) The Blues already have points on the board
It’s an age old cliché, but points on the board are better than games in hand. It’s no guarantee that Manchester City will win their three games in hand, especially now captain Vincent Kompany will be banned for the next three matches following his red against Hull.
The Blues currently sit four points above Arsenal and Liverpool, meaning both of their rivals need to win their game in hand, and then hope Chelsea slip up without messing up themselves. Easier said than done.
