Can Chelsea Qualify For Europe? See the latest odds on Chelsea qualifying for Europe as Mauricio Pochettino future could be decided

Chelsea are placed with an 11/4 chance of finishing in the top six in the Premier League this season.

The Blues have had an underwhelming season under Mauricio Pochettino and with 10 matches remaining, they currently sit in 11th place. With it usually being the top four in the Premier League that qualify for a place in the Champions League, Chelsea are some way away from fourth-placed Aston Villa.

This time around, however, there is the chance that a fifth-place finish would qualify for the Champions League, with the. European competition expanding by four teams in the group phase from September. But it is not a given that any of these extra places will be awarded to English clubs.

It is based on the record of a country’s clubs and how well they do in European competitions. Seventh place in the table usually qualifies for Europa Conference League.

With that said, the Blues’ most likely route into Europe would be via a seventh-place finish. Pochettino’s side are five points from West Ham in seventh. But if Chelsea win the FA Cup, that would see them reach the Europa League next season.

They will take on Manchester City in the semi-finals which will be played at Wembley next month. With that in mind, football.london has taken a look at what the latest bet365 odds to finish in top six, top half and bottom half to see where Chelsea stand.
