Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez says they have everything to play for after victory over Sunderland.
The London derby with Tottenham - a date for which is still to be confirmed - could effectively be a play-off for Champions League football next term.
"Spurs and Arsenal are still there pushing, Everton as well," Benitez said. "We have to continue to the end.
"Hopefully we can do well in the cup competitions and be ready for Fulham and Liverpool."
