Chelsea have been given a huge boost in their attempts to get Champions League football again next season.

It was quite likely anyway, but after last night, it has now been confirmed officially that finishing 5th in the Premier League will get you a place in next seasons Champions League, rather than just the top 4.

Chelsea now have it all to fight for and this should provide a big motivational boost for them going into the final 7 games.
Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer has been speaking about Chelsea’s test against Man City this weekend and his own level of preparation. He’s also been speaking about his own form of late.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are closing on a deal to sign Valentin Barco from Strasbourg this summer, and it is Liam Rosenior who has apparently played a key role in convincing the player to join.
