LONDON (REUTERS) - Chelsea cannot afford to lose at Manchester United on Sunday in what will be a 'difficult match' for both teams looking to finish in the Premier League's top four, the London club's manager Maurizio Sarri said on Friday (April 26).
Chelsea are fourth in the standings, three points behind Tottenham Hotspur, a point above Arsenal and three above United. If Chelsea finish outside the top four, they will have to win the Europa League to qualify for the Champions League.
"We have two very important targets at the end of our season," Sarri told reporters.
"The first is the top four and the second is to get to the final of the Europa League.
"For the first target, this match is more than important for us and for our opponents. So we will try to win, of course, but we need not to lose. It's a very difficult match for both I think."
However, Chelsea are yet to win a single point away at a "top six" club this season. They have lost four games, conceding 13 goals and scoring only one, and face a United side hurting from a 2-0 midweek humbling at the hands of Manchester City.
"In the second half of the season we face the big teams away, only Tottenham at home," Sarri added. "It's not easy. We have to play against opponents with a very high level of motivation after the Manchester derby. But we have to try."
Sarri also said Chelsea forward Eden Hazard deserved to be named in the Professional Footballers' Association's (PFA) Team of the Year that was dominated by players from title contenders Manchester City and Liverpool.
No player has been involved in more goals than Hazard in the league this season (16 goals and 13 assists) and Sarri was of the opinion that Chelsea's position in the table was the reason behind the snub.
"I think that Eden deserved to be in the top of 11 of the Premier League," Sarri said. "But I think also at the moment the table is clear. There is City, there is Liverpool, and then the other teams. So I think the vote was influenced by the table."
The Italian boss confirmed Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi would be sidelined for three months with a ruptured Achilles he sustained in the 2-2 draw with Burnley. Defender Antonio Rudiger could return while midfielder N'Golo Kante remains a doubt.
"Rudiger is OK at the moment. We are trying to recover Kante but I am not sure at the moment," Sarri said.
Manchester United's perfect record under caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has brought renewed hope to the club but qualifying for the Champions League will still be 'difficult', goalkeeper David De Gea has said. Sixth-placed United have won all six league games since the Norwegian replaced Jose Mourinho to close the gap on fourth
