Goodbye Chelsea, Liverpool could take them out of the title race

The Reds now have a great opportunity to continue a fierce fight for the leadership of the Premier League, where despite being in third place, it is the moment when the most complicated begins, since now they will face the best in the tournament, both to Manchester City like Arsenal, so now the mistakes that any team makes will cost them too dearly and they could lose great opportunities.

However, now Chelsea would be the team of the moment, and beyond its terrible performance, the Blues would now be in the eye of the hurricane since the financial fair play is investigating Chelsea for its latest transfer sales since the Blues have made multiple transactions with a very high value which has raised suspicions and this could have great consequences for Chelsea.

Therefore, teams like Liverpool and Everton will be one of the teams that will be closely following the result of the investigation, and the priority is the investigation of the stay of Russian millionaire Roman Abramovich, as former owner of Chelsea for some payments, as these were carried out in a strange manner, and this is believed to have been for the benefit of the Blues.

This has been what has caught the attention of both UEFA and the Premier League, so it is believed that some of these payments could have violated Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules, which has kept the Blues very nervous, and this also comes at a time where the team is doing very poorly, which complicates things much more.

The punishments that could be for Chelsea

If these investigations prove positive that the Blues have breached the rules of Financial Fair Play, this would lead to the Blues being punished with a financial penalty, however, according to Kieran Maguire, this is the least likely sanction since depending on the charges for which Chelsea is guilty before the investigations could also receive a punishment in point deduction.
