Conte has 'hope' in Chelsea's late push for top-four finish

Antonio Conte has acknowledged that Chelsea's fortunes appear to be on the turn after a weekend in which his side moved two points away from a place in the Premier League's top four.

After Tottenham were beaten 1-0 by West Brom on Saturday, Olivier Giroud's first-half goal earned Chelsea a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday to put the Blues two points behind Mauricio Pochettino's fourth-place men with two games remaining.

Liverpool are three clear of Conte's side in third, but both Spurs and Chelsea have a game in hand.
