​Chelsea poised for Champions League qualification

A draw or a win for Chelsea against Everton on Sunday guarantees Champions League football next season.

"When we started this season, our first target was to play in the Champions League next season" said boss Antonio Conte.

"It's an important target for the club, for the fans, for the players. But, for sure now, we stay in a position to try also to win the league.

"Obviously, with six teams between Chelsea, Tottenham, City, Arsenal, United, Liverpool, two strong teams won't play next season in the Champions League."

"It's 11 games that we are not able to keep a clean sheet and, for this reason, it's important to improve, to work on the situations we're conceding the goals. I'm not concerned about this, but at the same time, we are working on it."
