Chelsea Need 7 Wins for Top Five: Reports

The Telegraph reports there's a feeling around Stamford Bridge that Chelsea needs seven wins from their remaining ten matches to secure a top-five finish and Champions League qualification. The Blues currently sit sixth, three points behind Liverpool and six behind both Manchester United and Aston Villa.

Chelsea has only qualified for the Champions League once in the last three seasons following the Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital takeover. A win against Aston Villa on Wednesday would provide a boost to their hopes, but any other result would leave them facing an uphill battle, potentially increasing pressure on manager Liam Rosenior.
