The race for a Champions League ticket this year is considered the most tense and dramatic in Premier League history. Man City just won all 3 points against Aston Villa in round 34, rising to 3rd place with 61 points. Meanwhile, Chelsea is in 6th place with one match left and exactly 4 points behind Man City.

There are currently 5 teams including Man City (3rd place - 61 points), Nottingham Forest (4th place - 60 points), Newcastle (5th place - 59 points), Chelsea (6th place - 57 points) and Aston Villa (7th place - 57 points) are chasing each other fiercely. However, the gap between the teams is a maximum of 4 points, so any misstep can reverse the order on the rankings.

A 2-1 win over Fulham last round helped Chelsea extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches. In the last two matches, they had to come from behind to bring home four valuable points.

Man City's win over Aston Villa in the middle of the week has kept Chelsea in sixth place, just two points off the top five. However, Chelsea's final fixtures of the season are one of the toughest yet, with Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle, Man United and Nottingham Forest still to play.

Along with that is the battle in the Conference League semi-finals against Djurgarden - a title that could be the honor savior for Chelsea this season.

Despite their inconsistent form, Stamford Bridge remains an impregnable fortress for Everton. Chelsea are on a 29-match unbeaten run against Everton at home in the Premier League.

Last season, The Blues destroyed Everton 6-0 at Stamford Bridge - the team's biggest defeat in 20 years.

In their last encounter at Christmas, Everton under Sean Dyche held Chelsea to a 0-0 draw, denying the Blues the chance to go top of the table. But now, coach David Moyes has returned and brought a vibrant Everton side.

Although Everton's 9-match unbeaten streak has slowed down (only 4 points in the last 4 matches), it is inevitable that they will have to face Man City, Liverpool and other big opponents.

Everton are currently 13th, safe from the drop zone, and have picked up 21 points since Moyes took over – more than the bottom three combined. Everton’s lack of motivation means Chelsea have a good chance of taking all three points in a must-win game.
