Chelsea 2-2 Burnley: 5 Talking Points & Tactical Analysis | Premier League 2018-19 

#5 What next for Chelsea in terms of the top four race?

Can he steer his side to the Champions League spots?

Courtesy better goal difference and a game in hand, Chelsea's fierce North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham are favorites to occupy the third and fourth spot. Both sides lost their respective games, and it was all for the taking as far as the Pensioners were concerned, but they blew it away.

Unfortunately for the Blues, who have been horrendous on the road since the turn of the year, two out of their next three matches are away fixtures, one of them being against Manchester United.

They could have done the job and exerted pressure on the North London sides, but they didn't. Now, Arsenal and Spurs, with relatively easier fixtures and more stability in terms of producing results, are set to leapfrog Chelsea.

Europa League victory seems like the last chance for Maurizio Sarri to bring Champions League football back to the Bridge. And probably, save his job. And yes, keep Eden Hazard as well.

The next three fixtures, along with the Europa League semi-final and final, could define and shape a lot of things at Chelsea.
