How many points Chelsea need for Champions League amid Arsenal and Tottenham top four battle

Thomas Tuchel has a huge few weeks ahead of him. Chelsea have an FA Cup final against Liverpool this weekend as the Blues look to end their season with silverware, while in the league they are still looking to confirm qualification for next season’s Champions League.

It comes after a difficult run of form, where the side have only notched up one win in five Premier League matches. The most recent struggle was at home against Wolves, where a two-goal lead was thrown away in injury time to walk away with a point.

Discussing the frustrating draw, the German coach said: “We reminded the team to stick to the plan, to execute the match plan with more discipline and more precisely, and we were 2-0 up, and again we take too much risk in situations where you cannot take this kind of risk. We invited the counter-attacks and big chances. Once you do this, you lose confidence and invite the opponent to smell that something is possible when it is unnecessary.”
