Chelsea's next six Premier League games compared to Man City, Newcastle United and top four rivals

Chelsea are in the scrap of their lives heading into the final section of the season, battling it out with a number of clubs for a Champions League spot. As always, the top four is the aim as far as Champions League football is concerned, but it looks likely the Premier League will have an extra spot this season, making fifth place a likely route to UEFA’s premiere competition.

As things stand, Chelsea are in seventh spot, but just one point off both fourth and fifth with 12 games remaining. The coming weeks could be key to the Champions League race, and here we round up the upcoming Premier League fixtures for everyone between third and ninth, excluding the FA Cup and European fixtures some of the teams have in between the league games.
