Eden Hazard has admitted that Chelsea will find it difficult to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season, but the winger insisted that the Blues will continue trying.
The Premier League champions, who have endured a stuttering campaign this term, played out a goalless draw against Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby yesterday.
The stalemate at White Hart Lane enabled Chelsea to move to 14th place in the league with 15 points from 14 outings, 13 behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
And Hazard, who is yet to score a goal in 21 appearances in all competitions this season, acknowledged the fact that the Stamford Bridge outfit will find it tough to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
However, the Belgian international was quick to add that Chelsea are not done trying.
