'There is definitely a bit of heat on Maresca'
The Athletic's Adam Crafton believes Chelsea "cannot afford to be out of the Champions League again" next season and says it is going to be "a difficult few months" for head coach Enzo Maresca. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, Crafton added: "They just shouldn't be finishing below Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth. As well as those teams have performed, with the level of investment that Chelsea have made, I don't think it's unreasonable for the owners to have expected Enzo Maresca to do better. "Given the position they were in during November and at the start of December, they have got to finish in the Champions League spots. It is a bit of a disaster if they end up sixth. "The club won't accept things continuing as they have been in their past few games - two wins in nine in the Premier League. There is definitely a bit of heat on him."
