Maurizio Sarri says he is optimistic Chelsea will finish in the top four despite Sunday’s 1-1 draw at home to Wolves.
Belgium international Eden Hazard’s goal in the second minute of stoppage time cancelled out Raul Jimenez’s opener as Chelsea earned a draw to move within four points of Tottenham in the four-way battle for two Champions League qualification places.
The Blues have a game in hand, but could not capitalise fully on Spurs’ loss at Southampton on Saturday, and now have nine games to play in their bid to seal a top-four spot.

Despite missing out on all three points, Sarri, who has been linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge this summer, says his side need to believe they will finish in a Champions League place. “When you have to play only 10 matches, every match you’re not able to win is a missed opportunity,” he said. “In the last six matches, we won four matches and drew the other two.
So there is a little consistency in this moment. “We have one match in hand, so we have to have be confident.”
