Chelsea (Dead or Alive)?


The blues aren't looking very happy right now, even after Frank Lampard on his 501st appearance for Chelsea, led the blues into a 2-1 comeback against Everton and before a 8-0 win against Aston Villa with 7 different people scoring in one game.  Chelsea's Fernando Torres is also preforming well but not enough to help.  Even with all the good happening they also have things they have to worry about.  Even with a 5 game winning streak, Tottenham Hotspur have pulled a 1-point lead over Chelsea pushing Chelsea down into 4th place.  2 points over rivals Arsenal.  If Chelsea wins the next game, and Tottenham loses or draws the next game, Chelsea will be back in third place.  With a 3 easy matches coming up (against QPR, Southampton, and slightly harder Stoke City) will make it easier for the blues to catch up before they play rivals Arsenal. 


     Some slightly bad news for Chelsea manager Rafael Benitez.  Daniel Sturridge is making plans with Liverpool Manager Brendon Rodgers (as Rodgers deal with Demba Ba broke down) and will probably seen in a Liverpool jersey soon.  Liverpool are paying 21 million dollars for Sturridge.  Brendon Rodgers is getting ready to switch the formation to a 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 being almost certain the 23 year old striker is coming to Liverpool.  Sturridge played next to Luis Suarez will strengthen Liverpool's offense. Though Sturridge is not part of his plans with  strikers Fernando Torres, Lucas Piazon, and Lukaku (on loan), losing Sturridge will be one less striker.  In my opinion, Sturridge is the second best striker on Benitez's team.  Sturridge will most likely be in a red jersey soon.
