It’s the final day of the Premier League season, and Chelsea have their destiny in their own hands to finish in a Champions League place.

Arsenal legend Martin Keown is backing Chelsea to finish the season in a Champions League slot.

For Keown, Chelsea are a Champions League side, and it will be a disaster for the Blues to miss out of Europe’s elite club competition.

Keown told talkSPORT: “Goodness, I think they’re a Champions League club. We’ve grown with (Roman) Abramovich.

“We’ve seen 19 trophies in 21 years or whatever it was, it may have been the other way around.

“They are geared for Champions League football. For them, it’s about Champions League football.

“The big blow, down to ten men in Newcastle (in 2-0 defeat on May 11), that was a play-off game.

“That’s really opened things up because Chelsea will still feel that they can make it.”
