Former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi, has said the West London outfit will finish among the English Premier League (EPL) top four teams this season.
He made the prediction recently while speaking on his podcast.
Chelsea went into the November international break in third place with 20 points, after their first 11 matches.
The Blues had won six league encounters, drawn two and lost three games so far.

Enzo Maresca’s men are six points behind leaders Arsenal, who they face in their second league fixture after the break.
However, while tipping his former club to finish in the top four places, Mikel Obi admitted that Chelsea will not be in the title race.
The former Super Eagles captain said: “I think we’re not going to win the league this season.
“I think we just lack a bit more experience in terms of winning the league.
“But I think top four should be the aim this season. But listen, if we’re there, we’re there.”
