Chelsea have a chance to get extremely close to securing European football when they face Nottingham Forest tomorrow.
The Blues are presently seventh in the table, which is enough to qualify for Europe next season.
However, it would just be the Europa Conference League, with the owners apparently expecting the Europa League as a minimum standard.

They begin their bid to break into the top six tomorrow evening at the City Ground, against a Nottingham Forest team anxious to ensure their place in the league for the following season.
Their form has been buoyed by recent strong performances from former Chelsea player Callum Hudson-Odoi, who will undoubtedly be eager to show the Blues what they’re missing.
Gary Neville predicts Chelsea and Nottingham Forest will draw.
Gary Neville was asked on the most recent episode of Stick to Football how he thinks the game will go, and he did not expect that all three points would be returned to West London.
He stated, “I think it’s a draw. I believe it’s a 1-1.”
Forest seeking to do a double over Chelsea
Forest will try to complete the double over Chelsea this season, having won at Stamford Bridge in the first few weeks of the season.
The Blues squandered numerous chances in front of goal throughout the encounter, with Nicolas Jackson in particular wasting a golden opportunity late on.
The match will also be remembered as the first time Chelsea fans saw Cole Palmer since his deadline-day transfer last summer.
While he did not contribute to the scoreline from the bench, he demonstrated the promise that many have seen this season at Stamford Bridge.
