"Chelsea's Premier League season has imploded spectacularly over the past two months, dropping from fifth to ninth after six straight defeats without scoring a league goal until a consolation against Nottingham Forest."
"The horrific form led to the sacking of manager Liam Rosenior, with Calum McFarlane taking over as interim head coach, who managed to secure a win in the FA Cup semi-final."
"Winning the FA Cup would allow Chelsea to qualify for the Europa League, but the ownership group desires regular Champions League football, making this season's performance a failure."
"Chelsea's hopes for Champions League qualification in 2026/27 appear over, but if Aston Villa finishes fifth and wins the Europa League, Chelsea could still benefit from a potential sixth-place qualification."
Chelsea's Premier League performance has drastically declined, resulting in six consecutive defeats and a drop to ninth place.

However, Chelsea's aspirations for Champions League football seem bleak, with a significant points gap to fifth place. Qualification could still be possible if Aston Villa wins the Europa League, allowing Chelsea to potentially claim a Champions League spot through the sixth position.
