Chelsea 1-1 Huddersfield Town: 5 Talking Points

#1 Chelsea's top-four hopes hang in the balance

The draw could come back to haunt Chelsea if they miss out on UCL qualification

Prior to kickoff, Chelsea were on 69 points and a win would ensure them levelling Liverpool on 72 points. However, a 1-1 draw at home against a struggling and poor away side doesn't them any good as they fall back two points behind Liverpool with only one game left in the season.

The Blues have only themselves to blame as this was an ideal opportunity to claim the three points and tighten their grip on top four qualification which would help them in going head to head with the Reds on the final day of the season.

Tottenham's victory over Newcastle United as ensured them Champions League qualification and with Liverpool facing Brighton at Anfield on Sunday, things certainly seem to be against the former Premier League champions since a tough task lies ahead of them with an away trip to Newcastle against former boss Rafa Benitez.

Only a Liverpool loss and a Chelsea win on the last day of the season can salvage passage to Europe for the Blues since Jurgen Klopp's men happen to have a considerably superior goal difference. Antonio Conte's job is also on the line and it will once again come under scrutiny if he fails to deliver Champions League football for next season.
