According to reports, there's a feeling around Stamford Bridge that Chelsea requires seven victories from their remaining ten matches to qualify for next season's Champions League. The Blues currently sit sixth, three points behind Liverpool and six behind both Manchester United and Aston Villa.
Chelsea's destiny remains somewhat in their own hands as they still face all three teams above them in the table. A win against Aston Villa on Wednesday would boost their hopes, but any other result would leave them facing an uphill battle, potentially increasing pressure on manager Liam Rosenior.
