Jamie Carragher makes UCL prediction for Chelsea
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher believes Chelsea have work to do to qualify for the Champions League next season.
The Blues registered a 3-1 Premier League win over Liverpool last weekend. As a result, they have moved to the fifth spot with 63 points.
Chelsea have a two-point lead over Nottingham Forest and a three-point advantage over Aston Villa, but things could still change.
The Blues still have to face Newcastle United, Manchester United and Nottingham Forest. Carragher believes they will drop points.
The former Liverpool defender feels the Blues need teams around them to drop points in order to qualify for the Champions League.
He said: "I still think Chelsea need other teams to drop points [to get UCL qualification]."
Chelsea have found form and momentum at the right time. They still have two tough away outings against Newcastle and Forest.
United could be an easier opposition on paper but they can't be taken for granted, given they seem to rise up for the big occasion.
