Chelsea now head into today’s game knowing that, no matter what the result, we will finish the matchday in fourth position.
It ought to be further motivation to win, though. Three points today means that we would be able to win one of our final two fixtures and still qualify for the Champions League.
This is just brilliant news, and ought to encourage the players ahead of today.
