Jamie Carragher has been pleasantly surprised by Chelsea's performance this season. He had initially predicted that they would finish outside the top six, but now he believes they have a strong chance of finishing in the top four. Currently sitting in third place, Chelsea are only one point behind defending champions Manchester City and nine points behind league leaders Liverpool.
On the other hand, Tottenham, who are in sixth place, are three points behind Chelsea. However, they have shown their attacking prowess by defeating Manchester City 4-0 in their last game. Carragher acknowledges that Tottenham may just miss out on a top-four finish, but he believes that Chelsea's impressive form will secure them a spot in the Champions League.
Carragher credits Enzo Maresca for Chelsea's drastic improvement. He admits that he did not expect Chelsea to be this dominant, especially considering their early exit from the Carabao Cup and their European competition, which has been against weaker teams. However, Maresca has been rotating players and using his second team, which Carragher believes will continue to bring success for Chelsea.
When it comes to Tottenham, Carragher believes their inconsistency may cost them a top-four finish. While they have been playing attractive football and scoring plenty of goals, their performance can vary from game to game. This has been evident with their win against Manchester City and their loss to Crystal Palace. Carragher predicts that Tottenham will finish in fifth place, missing out on a Champions League spot.
Carragher has also changed his prediction for the Premier League title winners. While he initially chose Manchester City, he now believes Liverpool has a stronger chance. He also thinks that Arsenal may finish above Manchester City due to the latter's issues in midfield. With Liverpool currently in a sizeable lead, Carragher believes they will be the favorites to win the league title. However, he predicts that the race will be tight, with Manchester City and Arsenal potentially catching up in the run-in.
