Up until the final few rounds of the season, the top 4 race in the Premiership was as exciting as ever, with Arsenal ultimately pipping Everton to the final Champions League berth.
And with top 5 sides from last term all adding some high-quality players to their ranks plus seventh-placed Manchester United bringing Dutch maestro Louis van Gaal to replace David Moyes, chances are the chase for the top 4 positions in the 2014/2015 season could prove more interesting than ever before.
Considering that the new campaign kicks off this weekend, now is as good a time as any to assess teams’ chances of achieving Champions League qualification through league finish.
While finishing the previous campaign mere four points behind champions Manchester City, Chelsea have done some excellent business in the summer transfer window, and no doubt they will be one of the main candidates for the trophy.
Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Cesc Fabregas should prove very good signings for the Blues, while Thibaut Courtois and Didier Drogba will also come in handy. As a result, Chelsea now have a very balanced squad with an extremely strong starting line-up and quite a few exciting options on the bench, meaning a place in the top 4 should never come into question.
