English Premier League: Who will take the first hit of the unbeaten three – City, Liverpool or Chelsea

For no reason do I believe Chelsea are the weakest of the top three. No, they have the hardest fixture of the three clubs coming up and must still prove more against the top six.

The first of Chelsea’s next run of six games comes up against a London rival in Tottenham. This lands the idea, they might and could be the first to drop points.

Spurs, not the best team we know them to be, but has the motivation to want to over jump the Stamford Bridge side in this next encounter. Of late though, Tottenham have also turned things around. They enjoy three wins on the run and are up for a fourth with no answer since their defeat to the leaders, a few weeks ago.

Chelsea’s next six

Tottenham vs. Chelsea
Chelsea vs. Fulham
Wolves vs. Chelsea
Chelsea vs. Manchester City
Brighton vs. Chelsea
Chelsea vs. Leicester City

The next two are obtainable fixtures, but a side with a new manager in charge after a sacking can be extremely tough to come up against in a time of resurgence. Then a trip to a Wolves team strutting their stuff. They can cause an upset, they could also bow down if they’re not in the right mindset. It will be another big bang.

The fourth of Chelsea’s fixtures are the leaders, Manchester City. You choose who’s your winner, I would back you on any pick of the two. After these four, Chelsea would have endured their first loss because they have two top-four battles, with one being the champions.

This is why they will be the first of the last three remaining to drop all three points in a fixture.
