EPL: Chelsea will qualify for Champions League – Darren Bent

Former England striker, Darren Bent, is backing Chelsea to finish fourth in the Premier League this season.

The Blues have brought in Enzo Maresca to replace Mauricio Pochettino as manager.

Under Maresca, the team has recorded one win, one draw and one loss.

But Bent has seen enough to predict that Chelsea will make a return to the Champions League.

He said: “Fourth – Chelsea. I just think look at the firepower they have got. It’s a bit of a basketcase, but I have seen the sample sizes, like the Wolves result away from home 6-2. I know they drew 1-1 with Palace, but they have won one, lost one and drawn one.

“I feel that once Maresca has got his settled team now that the window has closed, no incoming and no outgoings and all that, a settled squad, I feel like they will finish in the top four.”
