Chelsea's Premier League schedule in 2022 has been quite stagnated due to the number of competitions the Blues have been in over the past few months. The FA Cup, Club World Cup, Carabao Cup and Champions League all halting the interest in the Blues league narrative.
It is also fair to point out that due to the title race effectively ending in mid-January when Chelsea lost 1-0 at The Etihad to Manchester City, the focus was always going to look at the potential of cup success over a third-place finish.
However, now with only the FA Cup on the 14th of May left outside the Premier League, Thomas Tuchel has a chance to achieve the highest points tally since the last title win in the 2016/17 season. Or, more realistically, match a feat reached by Jose Mourinho eight years ago.
