Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel said:

"We are close to where we want to be. We want to try everything to reach the top four.

"And we said this very clearly when we started. So now, the guys put themselves in a situation where we are versus the hunters of teams up in front of us, and we are close, but it still changes nothing because the next league game will be at home, and we will be like everybody else, under pressure to continue our run and to build on the momentum."
