Chelsea need a point on the final day of the season to secure Champions League football next year.

Frank Lampard’s side host Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but their opponents similarly need a result.

Wolves are trying to secure Europa League football again next season and are only one point ahead of Tottenham.

Chelsea could feasibly deny Wolves European action by beating them here—but then gift it back to them once more by winning the FA Cup.
