Chelsea's final 10 games - including Liverpool, Manchester United

Sports Mole looks at Chelsea's Premier League run-in as they look to leapfrog both Manchester United and Arsenal in the race for Champions League football.

Chelsea sit bottom of the pile in terms of the top-four race with 10 games of their season remaining, but qualification for next term's Champions League is still in their hands.

Back-to-back London derby wins have eased the pressure on manager Maurizio Sarri, in addition to closing the gap on fourth place to just two points, with a game in hand over both Manchester United and Arsenal.

A maximum 30 points from the 30 left available will guarantee a top-four spot for Chelsea, then, but they still face a few difficult tests between now and the end of the campaign.

A home tie with Wolverhampton Wanderers - just one place below them in the table - is next up, while games against Liverpool and Manchester United loom on the horizon next month.

Here, Sports Mole looks at the Blues' final 10 games of the 2018-19 campaign.
