Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is hoping to be Chelsea’s lucky charm in race for Champions League qualification for next season.

“I hope I can be the lucky charm for the Champions League race in the final sprint,” Giroud said.

“We don’t have this situation in our hands, but I have experience about these kind of end of season situations.

“We need to give everything and wait for the other results. I’m confident because if we play with that kind of mentality we can have nice things.

“They (Tottenham) lost this weekend [at West Brom], so it gives us a bit more energy and hope, so that’s why we want to fight to the end.”
