Chelsea have a shot at qualifying for Europe. But should they want it?

So Chelsea have something to play for in their final Premier League game of the season after all.A 2-1 victory over Tottenham — their first in the top division since March 4 — has kept their chances of qualifying for Europe alive. But would they be better off… not qualifying?It is certainly worthy of debate. Right now Chelsea sit eighth, which would put them in the UEFA Conference League, a competition they won last year. There are various permutations about what could happen on Sunday but to avoid causing anyone a headache, a win at Sunderland should be good enough to ensure Chelsea finish eighth at the very least (Brentford are also on 52 points but go to Liverpool with an inferior goal difference by four).Advertisement
