Enzo Maresca has confirmed Chelsea's target is to finish in this season's Premier League top four. Chelsea are currently in sixth position and one point behind Manchester City who occupy fourth place.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has admitted that his squad are “upset” amid growing rumours that he could be sacked before the end of the season.

Enzo Maresca has urged dissenting fans to resist the urge to protest against Chelsea's ownership and said victory in all seven home games will be enough to secure Champions League qualification. Chelsea travel to Aston Villa on Saturday aiming to improve on a run of just three wins from 12 games across all competitions which has seen Chelsea fall off the pace in the title race and drop to sixth place in the table.
