Enzo Maresca sets out Chelsea's Champions League aim as he admits the target 'for sure, is top four'

Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has admitted that qualifying for next season's Champions League is a major aim for his squad.

His side currently sit sixth in the Premier League table with 13 rounds of fixtures remaining.

The top four will automatically qualify for the Champions League, while fifth is also likely to be enough as England currently leads the UEFA association club coefficient rankings.

As well as aiming to secure Champions League qualification, Chelsea hope to add another major European title to their list of honours this season by winning the Europa Conference League.
