Chelsea continues the hunt for Champions League Football when I hold Ipswich Town fighting in the Premier League on Sunday.
The blues have London rival Arsenal to thank the Premier League, which earns a fifth qualification point for the first European competition and Chelsea’s chances of returning to the table next season has returned to the top table. But a top five -finish is far from guaranteed with people like Manchester City, Newcastle United, Aston Villa and even Fulham in persecution.
After a victory against Legia Warsaw in her quarter -finals of the Europa Conference League on Thursday, Enzo Maresca was supposed to set up a team in full strength for the fight with Ipswich on Thursday after shoting Brentford unsuccessfully last weekend.
The tractor boys will play against the relegation against the rival Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend after the relegation against the relegation against the rival Wolverhampton Wanderer guaranteed only championship football. They are now 12 points from security with just seven games and have to gain realistically on the Stamford Bridge in order to keep their extremely slim hopes of survival alive.
Here is 90 minutes Guide to collide in the Stamford Bridge.

Cole Palmer and Tosin Adarabioyo were withdrawn during the 3-0 victory of Chelsea in Legia, causing the fears of injuries to both. However, Maresca has confirmed that the changes were planned and there are no fitness concerns for both.
However, the blues will be without Wesley Fofana for the rest of the season and he joined the Romeo Lavia and the long -term absences Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman. Mykhailo Mudryk remains suspended.
Maresca should welcome a large number of calm faces to the starting line -up on Sunday, including Nicolas Jackson, Levi Colwill, Moises Caicedo and Enzo Fernandez.
Chelsea predicted line-up against Ipswich (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; Gusto, Chalobah, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Madueke, Palmer, Neto; Jackson.
Ipswich continues to fight with injuries in the last third, and Kieran McKenna will be the former product of the Chelsea Academy Omari Hutchinson without Sammie Szmodics, Chiedozie Ogbene, Wes Burns, Wes Burns and with quite certainty.
Elsewhere, Conor Townsend is doubtful with a thigh injury and Arijanet Muric will be absent with a shoulder injury.
Chelsea was to watch first -hand over the reported transfer destination Liam Delap, who scored a goal in the back in December.
Ipswich predicted line-up against Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Palmer; Tuanzebe, O’Shea, Burgess, Davis; Morsy, Caeaste; Johnson, Broadhead, Enciso; Delap.
McKenna insisted that Ipswich is approaching the towel despite the relegation, but even her best performance may not be enough to earn some trip to West London. They only won in the Premier League once since they beat Chelsea at the end of last year, even though they were better on the street this season.
Chelsea rested the key staff for the trip to Warsaw during the week and should feel the advantages on Sunday. You have also aligned the results under your climax in the past few weeks and should have enough in the tank to secure three important points this weekend.
