A Chelsea related question was put to chief footballer writer Phil McNulty in Monday's Q&A.

Ben asked: Hi Phil, despite all the ongoing chaos off the pitch Chelsea have made a good start to the season. Can they finish in the top four?

Phil answered: Hello, Ben. They look very decent don’t they? They have settled into a recognisable style under Enzo Maresca and have very good players. It is simply allowing them to get some stability and learn to play with eachother.

Early days but I have always felt the fourth place is up for grabs behind Manchester City, Arsenal and Liverpool. My tip is Aston Villa but Chelsea have more than enough quality to be in that conversation.
