The schedule with Chelsea's next five games after losing to Manchester City in the FA Cup

After the great victory achieved in the previous Premier League matchday with a stellar Cole Palmer, Chelsea arrived at this FA Cup semi-final match against Manchester City with the hope of having a good match and having a chance of qualifying for the final of this historic English competition. Finally they fell 1-0 and with that, they were left out of the final.

Ahead, Mauricio Pochettino's team will have to face very demanding commitments in the league to try to reach positions in European competition:

On this 29th postponed Premier League matchday, Chelsea will visit the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal. At this moment, Arsenal is in full dispute for the Premier League, so this intense London derby can define many more things than what seems to be at stake, and that is that a victory blue could leave the players out of the game gunners.

Aston Villa, fourth in the table, hosts Chelsea, eleventh, at Villa Park on Thursday, April 27 at 9:00 p.m. on matchday 36 of the Premier League. The match is presented as an interesting duel between two teams with different objectives. Aston Villa seeks to secure its place in the Champions League, while Chelsea wants to climb positions and get into the fight for a European place.

To recover matchday 26 of the Premier League, they have already set a date for Chelsea's match against Tottenham. Three days before matchday 36, the second to last in the league, Chelsea will have the opportunity to climb some position ahead of the final push of the three remaining league games.

With the Premier League almost over, Pochettino's team will face West Ham. This match could be key for both teams to aspire to play in European competition next season.

To finish this upcoming calendar, Chelsea will have to visit a Nottingham Forest on the penultimate matchday of the Premier League, which is surely at that point fighting at the bottom of the standings, because they will need victory, which could lead to a nice meeting with both clubs fighting for their objectives.
