Chelsea's next six Premier League fixtures compared to Man United, Liverpool and Tottenham

Chelsea are on a three game winning streak. Who would have thought that was possible after the defeat to Tottenham at the end of February?

Graham Potter's side beat Leicester City 3-1 at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, with goals from Ben Chilwell, Kai Havertz and Mateo Kovacic ensuring all three points for the Blues. The result follows victories over Borussia Dortmund and Leeds United, with Chelsea seemingly finding form at the right time in the season.

Attention now turns to Everton on Saturday, with Chelsea 11 points behind Tottenham in fourth place. Here, football.london provides you with what is coming up in the league in the next six games.

Everton (H) - March 18

Another home game against one of the Premier League's strugglers as Sean Dyche's Everton travel to Stamford Bridge fighting for their lives. Both sides are out of the FA Cup and so this clash will definitely be going ahead.

Dyche has breathed some life back into Everton's season since his appointment but they are still struggling for goals, as well as wins away from Goodison Park. Anything less than a win here for Graham Potter's side is inexcusable.

Aston Villa (H) - April 1

Villa are currently placed 11th in the Premier League table and are seemingly safe from relegation. Unai Emery's side have undergone a typical mid-table season this term with 10 wins and 11 defeats but will be a tough opponent for Chelsea.

If the Blues have any outside chance of producing a late charge to the top four, victories in games like this must become natural under Potter.

Liverpool (H) - April 4

The first week of April provides three games in the space of a week. Liverpool will travel to Stamford Bridge on a Tuesday evening clash. The Reds, like Chelsea, have not been at their best this campaign but find themselves still in the fight for a top four spot.

Whilst their Champions League future looks bleak this term, Jurgen Klopp's men will provide Potter's men with another tough test.

Wolves (A) - April 8

April's fixtures come thick and fast for Chelsea. After the Blues overcame Dortmund in the Champions League round of 16, the quarter-finals are set to take place on April 11/12 and 18/19.

Wolves have turned their season around post-World Cup under Julen Lopetegui to add some breathing space between themselves and the bottom three. Chelsea have not won at Molineux since September 2019.

Brighton (H) - April 15

Potter comes up against his former side and will hope that the Blues can head into the game with a bit of good form. Brighton are still in contention for a top four spot this season and have the players to cause problems against Chelsea.

The west London outfit will get a closer look at Moises Caicedo after they missed out on signing him in January. The Ecuadorian midfielder recently extended his contract with the Seagulls but could still be the subject of interest for Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool this summer.

Man United (A) - April 22

One of the Blues' toughest games towards the end of the season. Erik ten Hag's side will welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford as they continue to impress under the former Ajax boss.

Many feel that Ten Hag has proven that a manager does not need a long period of time to implement their ideas and tactics, especially if they spend big in the transfer market. United have surprised many with their swift return to the top four but they remain slightly adrift of the title race.

Marcus Rashford will be the main threat the Blues must deal with against United as Potter looks to repeat his success over Ten Hag from the start of the season with Brighton.

Man City (A) - April 1

Chelsea (A) - April 4
