“I see them finishing in this position” – Frank Lampard predicts where Chelsea will finish under Enzo Maresca
Frank Lampard, a former Chelsea midfielder, predicted that Chelsea would place fifth or sixth this year.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, the Blues had a late surge in performance to finish sixth in the previous campaign.
Because Manchester United defeated Manchester City in the FA Cup final, they were not awarded a Europa League spot.
Since then, Enzo Maresca, who had a lackluster preseason with Chelsea, has taken Pochettino’s place.
Frank Lampard told Genting Casino: “Chelsea will have to improve on last season, but from what I’ve seen they might end up in fifth or sixth.
“For a club like Chelsea, that is unacceptable. Chelsea have played to win the Premier League for so long, fighting for the top four shows there is a big problem. They need trophies and not just trying to qualify to play for trophies.”
