Thomas Tuchel has described chasing Manchester City and Liverpool as a challenge that makes him want to get out of bed early every morning and one Chelsea will not up on.
The Blues have been the best of the rest behind City and Liverpool this season, sitting third in the Premier League and going out cruelly against Real Madrid in the Champions League while the top-flight's top two reached the semis.
Chelsea also lost the Carabao Cup final to Liverpool on penalties and could face either Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp's side in the FA Cup final if the Londoners can get past Crystal Palace in the last four.
