Will Chelsea make top four?

成人快手 Sport Chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions on the weekend's football.
St Augustine asked: Do you see Chelsea finishing in the top four by the end of the season?
Phil answered: Early days yet but the signs are very promising for Chelsea under Enzo Maresca.
I was not sure about this appointment but one thing no-one could question was that they had some quality players who, if shaped into a structure and system, could be a force.
Maresca appears to be doing that. He has a clear style and in Cole Palmer, a real game-changer. Nicolas Jackson also looks to be maturing.
I do think the top three will be Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool but there is a clear opening in fourth. My pick is still Aston Villa but if Chelsea continue as they are they can certainly be part of that conversation.
