Chelsea know a win against Wolves on the final day of the Premier League season will seal Champions League qualification.
The Blues were beaten 5-3 at Liverpool on Wednesday night to ensure their race for a top-four finish goes to the wire.
Chelsea could technically lose at Stamford Bridge and still finish fourth as long as they match Leicester City's result against Manchester United, but the Blues will not want to see their seasons' work go to waste now.
Frank Lampard has told his players to relish the pressure, but with one eye on August's FA Cup Final against Arsenal, the Chelsea boss will need to keep his squad focused on the task at hand.

| Pos | Team | P | W | D | L | GD | Pts |

Team news
N'Golo Kante is unlikely to be back from a hamstring problem in time for this game.
Billy Gimour is out, though Ross Barkley should be fit. Lampard could persist with Olivier Giroud after the striker scored again with a start against Liverpool, but Tammy Abraham also impressed with a goal off the bench.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-2 Wolves
Chelsea have gone from the sublime to the ridiculous and back again a few times since the restart, scoring plenty of goals and getting big wins while also reeling from heavy defeats.
The Blues have enough firepower to beat Wolves, but the big question is whether the defence will hold out.
A draw should be enough to sea Champions League qualification, but it could be a game that turns multiple times.
Head to head (h2h) history and results
