Chelsea's players must learn to take the blame if they don't qualify for the Champions League, says Antonio Conte ahead of trip to Southampton

Chelsea's struggling stars should not look for an easy exit if they fail to qualify for the Champions League and instead take their share of the blame, Antonio Conte has said.

Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois are among those who could leave at the end of the season as they are chased by European heavyweights Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain respectively.

Chelsea currently sit fifth in the Premier League but are 10 points off Tottenham, and the west London club travel to Southampton on Saturday looking for only their fourth win in 2018.
