Manager Liam Rosenior admitted Chelsea are losing ground in the race for Champions League qualification following recent results. The London club currently sits ninth in the Premier League table after 31 matches, according to the Premier League. Chelsea have earned 46 points so far, leaving them 14 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa with seven fixtures remaining in the campaign.
Rosenior stated that his players must maintain consistency to bridge the gap to the top four. The manager highlighted the difficulty of the task given the form of rival clubs, per Sky Sports. Chelsea have recorded 12 wins, 10 draws, and nine defeats during the 2025-26 season.
Recent defensive performances have hindered the team's progress, with the side conceding 52 goals this term. Rosenior noted that every remaining fixture is now critical for their European aspirations. The club next faces a trip to Everton on April 20, as confirmed by official club schedules.
