Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has predicted Chelsea will not qualify for the Champions League next season.
The Blues lost 2-0 at Newcastle United on Sunday, a result that leaves them sitting in the final Champions League spot with on 63 points.
Enzo Maresca’s men have just two games left to play in what has been a topsy-turvy season.
Chelsea will face Manchester United in their last home match of the season on Friday, before concluding their campaign with an away game against Nottingham Forest Chelsea will win against Man United. It’s a question of whether they can win against Nottingham Forest on their turf. “There will be a big atmosphere there,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “Maybe even if they can’t get Champions League football, I think Nottingham Forest supporters will be desperate to say almost like a big thank you for the season that they’ve had in the last game of the season.
“They’ve secured European football, a significant accomplishment. My belief is that Chelsea and Nottingham Forest will actually miss out, while Aston Villa will get in.
At the end of the season, Villa will face United and also play against Tottenham, the other finalists in the Europa League.
