Chelsea were written off for a Premier League top-four finish by some of the best pundits in England at the start of the season.

Frank Lampard invested in young players with a couple of experienced stars and right now, they are on the brink of qualifying for next season's Champions League.

The Blues on need a draw against Wolves to ensure their place among the top four teams in the English topflight division.

The west London club could still finish in fourth place if they lose to Nuno Espirito Santo's and Manchester United grind a win against Leicester City.

All the pundits got it right by predicting Liverpool and Man City would finish in the top two, but most of them who chose Tottenham all got it wrong because Spurs have missed out already.

The last two slots will be occupied by either Man United, Chelsea or Leicester city depending on the final day fixtures.

Graeme Souness - Manchester City, Liverpool Tottenham and Man United

Gary Neville - Manchester City, Liverpool Tottenham and Man United

Jamie Carragher - Manchester City, Liverpool Tottenham and Arsenal
