The Premier League's top four race intensifies as Chelsea maintain a strong position heading into the final twelve matches of the season. Under the steady guidance of manager Liam Rosenior, the Blues have navigated a transitional period effectively, keeping pace with the formidable form of Manchester United. However, the Red Devils are not the sole concern in this high-stakes battle for Champions League qualification.
