Chelsea will be hoping to end an underwhelming season on a high note when they face Sunderland this weekend.
The Blues have endured a real slump in the second half of the campaign, in a run that has seen Liam Rosenior sacked as head coach and European qualification look far from certain.
Currently, they sit eighth, which would be enough to qualify for the Conference League, which they won in 2025.
They will also need to look anxiously over their shoulders as well, with Brentford and Sunderland hot on their heels in the race for Europe.
