Six defeats in a row in the Premier League is Chelsea’s worst losing streak in the league since 1993. After Monday’s 1-3 loss to Nottingham Forest, the goal of a Champions League ticket was out of reach. With ten points behind Aston Villa in 5th place and three games to go, the door is closed, but could be reopened if, if, that. If there is no one, it will cost every single Chelsea player.
Aston Villa face Forest in the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday, and Blues supporters should be cheering for them to go all the way and lift the trophy. If Villa finish fifth and win the Europa League, their Champions League qualification spot will be passed on to the team in sixth place.

Chelsea are four points behind Bournemouth in sixth place with three games to go – the club that has a 15-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League.
So not exactly bright prospects. For the Chelsea players, it will sting greatly without Champions League games. With salaries that are performance-based, according to The Daily Telegraph , it will mean that players will be lost by about 20 percent next season.
On Saturday, the trip goes to Anfield, where Liverpool will avenge the bitter 3-2 loss to Manchester United last week. If Chelsea loses here and Bournemouth win against Fulham, the Champions League ticket is gone with the wind anyway.
