Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel says he's feeling confident of a top three finish.
Chelsea have reached the final of the FA Cup, League Cup and Club World Cup, as well as the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and have played more games this season than any other Premier League club.
Despite their intense schedule Chelsea have a strong grip on third place in the league, leading fourth-placed Tottenham by five points and having played two games less. Arsenal and Manchester United are a further three points back.
"They have been given a huge advantage," Tuchel told reporters ahead of their league game against Arsenal later on Wednesday.
"I was not happy when Tottenham were out of the (Europa) Conference League.
"Because I thought, 'Wow, I know what Antonio Conte can do with teams when they are focused and he can train them physically'.
"I thought this will be a huge uplift for them in the domestic competition, and the same for Arsenal when they went out of the cup.
"I thought it would be a huge boost for them, because they have a very young and talented team."
