Chelsea manager Liam Rosenior is going to be judged at the end of the season on whether his side qualify for the Champions League at the end of the campaign.
Unless they win the competition this season, it will require a top five finish in the Premier League, a position they are currently in.
The Blues have a 100% record in the competition since Rosenior took over, and will be looking to keep up the hunt when they take on Leeds United on Tuesday night.
Harsh on Santos, but at home, let’s get as many attacking players on the pitch as possible 💪
Predicted Chelsea line-up for Leeds
Elsewhere, Manchester United are making the trip to West Ham, and a result for the Hammers could see Chelsea move up to fourth in the table.

Chelsea relying on Axel Disasi for Champions League boost
One player who is likely to be in action is Axel Disasi, who has moved across London for the rest of the season on loan.
Disasi starred in his debut at the weekend, and after Jean-Clair Todibo was sent off for violent conduct against Joao Pedro, the Frenchman is likely to start again.
The Red Devils are enjoying a similar new manager bounce to Chelsea at the minute, and the Blues will need them to slow down to make their push for Champions League far more comfortable.
Chelsea will get their own chance to take some points off United in April, however will take any boost they can get in their quest.

Disasi completely binned off by Chelsea
Despite the arrival of the new manager and a temporary return to training, the writing has been on the wall for Disasi for a long period of time.
He has not featured for Chelsea in over a year, and the Blues have made multiple efforts to sell him on a permanent basis.
They made a strong effort to sign Jeremy Jacquet in January, and are going to be in the market for another centre-back in the summer.
The £39m deal to sign Disasi (Sky Sports) is going to go down as one of the worst the club have made under the new ownership, and likely put them off the bigger fees on unproven talent.
