Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta admits they can't afford to lose again if they're to finish in the top four.

Chelsea slumped to a disappointing 1-0 defeat against Manchester City yesterday and are now five points adrift of a top-four spot.

Azpilicueta said: “We have lost a lot of games already and we don't have space to make another error.

“We have to go game by game, try to win all of our fixtures and qualify for the Champions League.

"We have a massive game against Crystal Palace at home on Saturday and we have to focus on the nine games we have left to get that Champions League spot."
