Newcastle visit seventh-placed Manchester United, who have 54 points, in Wednesday\u2019s later kick off in the battle for European qualification.<br \/>\nInjuries and the inconsistent form of Chelsea\u2019s young team were blamed as the twice Champions League winners languished in mid-table but Pochettino\u2019s big-money squad have shown potential in recent weeks, quickly climbing the standings.<br \/>\n\u201cThe team is doing well, in the second part of the season \u2013 in the last 26 or 27 games,\u201d Pochettino told reporters. \u201cIf we can compete well in the last two games then there is a possibility to get into Europe, which would be amazing for us.<br \/>\n\u201cIf we are able to finish well and get into Europe, for sure we can start the next season with hope to be in a better position than we were in this season.\u201d<br \/>\nAfter captain Reece James\u2019 return from injury in their last game, the Blues are looking forward to another injury boost as Pochettino confirmed midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka and defender Ben Chilwell have returned to training.<br \/>\n\u201cWe need to assess if they will be part of the squad for tomorrow, but if not tomorrow then the weekend,\u201d he added, with Chelsea hosting Bournemouth in their final game on Sunday.<br \/>\nLooking back at his first season in charge, Pochettino did not want to focus on negatives. \u201cI don\u2019t want to talk anymore (about the age and lack of experience in the squad),\u201d he said.<br \/>\n\u201cFrom next season I want to talk about a different issue. I hope we can talk about the evolution of a different aspect of the game, in a tactical way, to evolve and be positive.<br \/>\n\u201cBecause now it is like we are stuck, like the Coldplay song, \u2018stuck in reverse\u2019.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Argentine manager\u2019s future was up in the air as he lost the loyalty of\u00a0some fans\u00a0after a bad run of league results as well as losing the FA Cup semi-final to Manchester City and the League Cup final against Liverpool.<br \/>\n\u201cI don\u2019t show fake feelings and I don\u2019t want people to show fake feelings to me. The fans need to enjoy in the stadium to create this link with us, most importantly we need to be respectful,\u201d he added.<br \/>\n\u201cLittle by little, with time we are capable of getting the results the club deserves. For sure, we are going to create a great relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino believes that finishing in a European qualifying spot would give the club hope of improving in the next campaign.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":11812,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"Default","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[862,3258,1164,748,1221,2314,1398,2313,478,3,201,9980,6609,935,7137,6626,8903,4081,250,3330,4407,9981,1314,572,1088,387,2069,1155,6616,2628,4318,3331,348,7257,9232,9856,9192,6928,991,618,9982,1731,380,4100,6305,5082],"class_list":["post-11811","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-other","tag-age","tag-air","tag-bournemouth","tag-brighton","tag-campaign","tag-carney-chukwuemeka","tag-champions-league","tag-chelsea","tag-climbing","tag-cyprus","tag-europe","tag-european-qualifying-spot","tag-european-spot","tag-fa-cup","tag-fa-cup-semi-final","tag-fans","tag-follow","tag-future","tag-google","tag-google-news","tag-hope","tag-improving-in-the-next-campaign","tag-injuries","tag-injury","tag-liverpool","tag-lost","tag-manchester-city","tag-manchester-united","tag-mauricio-pochettino","tag-money","tag-newcastle-united","tag-news","tag-premier-league","tag-qualifying","tag-relationship","tag-season","tag-semi-final","tag-six","tag-stadium","tag-top","tag-top-six-premier-league-finish","tag-training","tag-us","tag-visit","tag-who","tag-winners"],"acf":{"keyphrase":"","keywords":"","sourceimg":"","country-category":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>European spot will make Chelsea, \u2019s season, Pochettino says<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"European qualification.
