The Blues have their Champions League chances firmly in their own hands after they battled to a deserved win over the Hornets at Stamford Bridge. A tepid first-half was put behind them in the second with Ruben Loftus-Cheek, David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain all scoring to move Maurizio Sarri's side up to third above Tottenham and Arsenal in the race for the top four.

A famous point for Huddersfield, and a fantastic way to end their season at home in front of a wonderfully supportive crowd at the John Smith's Stadium.
Another disappointing afternoon for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Manchester United. Is it too late to withdraw the offer?
Convincing in the end, but the scoresheet fails to tell the story of a game that Watford largely dominated at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea were woeful in the first half and the visitors were desperately unlucky to come away with not even a goal from the game.
If Arsenal fail to win this afternoon then Chelsea will secure a Champions League spot...
That concludes our business from Stamford Bridge and the John Smith's Stadium, and we now look towards the Emirates, where Brighton and Arsenal are readying themselves with kick-off under half-an-hour away.
Let's get to the team news...
Team News - Arsenal
Aaron Ramsey has played his last game for Arsenal with the Welshman injured, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles is suspended after his red card last weekend. It looks to be a back four for Unai Emery, with Mesut Ozil and Henrikh Mkhitaryan providing plenty of creativity behind Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
Team News - Brighton
Brighton ditch the two up-front strategy so ineffectual against Newcastle last week, with Solly March utilised from the start after an impressive cameo. There are opportunities for Alireza Jahanbakhsh and Yves Bissouma, too, as Chris Hughton makes three changes.
Brighton are now officially safe, of course, though that has more to do with Cardiff's inability to secure enough points than any kind of resurgence from Chris Hughton's men.
Still, a weight off the shoulders, and a chance to enjoy two games against *checks notes*...
Arsenal and Manchester City. Ah.
This game is more consequential for Arsenal, virtually must-win, in fact. A draw would keep them alive, just, but they'd need Tottenham to fail to get anything at Everton on the last day and overturn an eight-goal differential to take fourth spot behind Chelsea. Burnley will be Unai Emery's final opponents in his debut managerial Premier League season.
Two wins would give them a better shot, but it is out of their hands - Spurs are win and in, but Arsenal can put the pressure on this afternoon.
