'How are they going to do it?': Paul Merson questions Chelsea's capability of securing Champions League spot

Speaking ahead of Chelsea’s clash against Fulham in the Premier League, Paul Merson told Sportskeeda: “Shocking result for Chelsea last weekend in my opinion.

“They should have beat Ipswich but failed to do it. If they play like this, I don't think they will finish inside the top five.

“Chelsea need at least seven points in their next three games against Fulham, Everton and Liverpool respectively. How are they going to do it? I don't know.

“This (Fulham game) is a must-win game for Chelsea. Other teams are finding a way to stop Cole Palmer now. Honestly, I don't know why it took everybody so long to do that!

“The bottom line is that Chelsea are struggling and Palmer needs to find a way to turn it around this weekend. If not, I think they are in big trouble.”

Chelsea have won just one of their last four Premier League matches and need a big win to get back into contention for a top-5 finish.
