Interim manager Calum McFarlane insists that the Blues are motivated to finish the season strongly but Monday’s 3-1 defeat at home to a much-changed Nottingham Forest side suggested otherwise and maximum focus may already be on the FA Cup final against Manchester City.
Liverpool also suffered a weekend setback, going down 3-2 away to top-five rivals Manchester United on Sunday, but having trailed 2-0 inside just 14 minutes they did show some spirit.
The Reds have endured a dramatic decline, with last season’s champions only fourth in the standings, but Champions League qualification remains firmly in their grasp.
Injuries are not helping matters, especially with Hugo Ekitike ruled out for the remainder of the season, but there is some hope that Alexander Isak and Mohamed Salah could be available to feature.
