Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is eager to keep Chelsea’s slim Champions League hopes alive by beating Liverpool at Stamford Bridge on Sunday.

“This could be a good opportunity for us,” Conte told reporters on Friday.

“But as I said a lot of times, in the last three games, if we want to keep the hope alive, we have to win. We have to get the three points.

“As you know, Liverpool are a good team. It won’t be easy. But, if we want to keep the hope alive, we have to try to win and get three points on Sunday.”

Conte added: “Now, our target and focus are to finish in the best possible way and try and fight for a place in the Champions League.

“It won’t be easy as the situation is not in our hands, but we have to try. The only way we can is to start by getting three points against Liverpool. Then we will see what happens.

“We have another final in the FA Cup. For sure, we want to give satisfaction to our fans. It won’t be easy against Manchester United, but we want to do our best until the end.”
