Legia Warsaw (H) – Conference League – Thursday, April 17

The Blues will be pleased to be back at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea secured a three-goal lead in the Polish capital on Thursday night, so Maresca will be expected heavily rotate the starting lineup again.

Fulham (A) – Premier League – Sunday, April 20

A London derby! Fulham have punched above their weight this season, climbing to eighth in the Premier League. The Cottagers will be desperate to secure European football, so Chelsea mustn't take their foot off the peddle.

Everton (H) – Premier League – Saturday, April 26

Everton have been revitalised by David Moyes, who's steered them away from the relegation zone. The Toffees are currently 17 points clear of the bottom three so, with survival in the top flight all but wrapped up, they could lower their guard.

Liverpool (H) – Premier League – Saturday, May 3

This will be a huge game in the wider context of the Premier League. Chelsea could make a great statement in the race for the Champions League qualification and show their European top-flight credentials.

Newcastle United (A) – Premier League – Saturday, May 10

Another tough match for the Blues. Chelsea will have to be at their very best when they lock horns with Newcastle United at St. James' Park. It's a tough place to go – especially with Champions League football on the line.

Manchester United (H) – Premier League – Sunday, May 18

Manchester United have struggled to impress this season, so Chelsea will be determined to pile on the misery. The Reds may not be the protagonist in the race for European football, but they'll be keen to play the antagonist.

Nottingham Forest (A) – Premier League – Sunday, May 25

What a game this looks to be. The winner takes all. If Nottingham Forest and Chelsea are both still in the race for Champions League qualification come the final day of the season then this will be huge.
