Chelsea can still qualify for the Champions League, and here is how. Up to six teams from England could qualify if Aston Villa win the Europa League and also finish fifth in the 2025/26 Premier League.
In that scenario, the team finishing sixth would take the additional Champions League spot, while Aston Villa qualify through their European success.
Softfootball believes Chelsea’s performance this 2025/26 season has been woeful. This led to the sacking of Enzo Maresca in the new year of 2026, with Liam Rosenior appointed as his replacement, who was enventually sacked as well.
While Rosenior has recorded 11 wins in 23 matches, the numbers behind those results suggest a more troubling story, raising concerns about consistency and overall team performance.
