Chelsea FC are on fire right now. In their last seven Premier League matches they are 7-0 and 19-1 in goal differential. They have now leapfrogged Manchester City as title favorites. It’s just the opposite of last season when Chelsea were the favorites in preseason, and once they fell off the perch, Manchester City replaced them.
