Chelsea know what they need to do to secure Champions League qualification.

Victories against Manchester United and Nottingham Forest will guarantee a top 5 finish but the defeat to Newcastle at the weekend means there is no room for error.

Nicolas Jackson’s sending off at St James’ Park certainly doesn’t help the Blues’ cause and head coach Enzo Maresca will now need to find solutions to ensure they can still pick up results without their main No.9.

There is no doubt that the home team will be strong favourites for Friday’s game at Stamford Bridge, considering United’s poor domestic form and the fact they are playing in a European final soon afterwards.
