Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer fears they'll miss out on Champions League qualification due to Chelsea.

If Chelsea win the Champions League and finish outside the top four, only the first three place getters will qualify for next seasons comp.

Shearer said: "It's amazing what Newcastle have done. I hope I am wrong, but it would be just Newcastle's luck to finish fourth and Chelsea go and win the Champions League.

"I obviously want Newcastle to finish fourth, but I would also like Chelsea to go on and win the Champions League after the season they have had - not if it's at Newcastle's expense of qualifying for the Champions League though. It's a tough scenario."
