Chelsea not giving up Champions League hope - Mata

Juan Mata has suggested that Chelsea still have a top-four finish in their sights with two matches remaining.

The Blues head to Anfield to take on Liverpool tomorrow night, following their FA Cup triumph over the Reds on Saturday, and Mata is certainly eyeing a win.

Chelsea sit sixth on the table, five points behind fourth-placed Tottenham, but the Spaniard has indicated the West Londoners are still targeting that fourth spot just in case they are unsuccessful in the Champions League final against Bayern Munich on May 19.

"It's a hard stadium to play away at. Liverpool showed they have a great team and they are dangerous at Anfield," Mata said.

"We have to win and still believe in playing the Champions League next year."
