Chelsea's challenging final month starts Sunday at Stamford Bridge against champions Liverpool. Fresh from a comfortable 4-1 Europa Conference League semifinal first-leg win over Djurgården, Chelsea's priority remains securing a top-five Premier League finish and Champions League qualification. Last week's narrow victory against Everton, coupled with Nottingham Forest's home defeat to Brentford, boosted their chances. Chelsea currently sit fifth with four games remaining, facing tough away fixtures against Newcastle and Forest.
