Captain John Terry has insisted that nobody at Chelsea wants to be playing the Europa League next season.

Chelsea captain John Terry has insisted that no-one at Chelsea wants to be playing in the Europa League next season.

The Blues are currently fourth in the Premier League table, which is the final spot for Champions League football.

Terry has conceded that the title is out of Chelsea's reach, but is keen for the club to secure their participation in Europe's top club competition.

"We have not been getting the results we need of late and the reality is, at the moment, we are not fighting for the title, we are in fourth place," said Terry. "It's a must for us to cement our place in the top four by winning games, pulling away from the teams in fifth and sixth and look at catching Spurs.

"If we don't set that target, we could end up playing Europa League next season, which we don't want and the supporters don't want.

"That is no disrespect to the competition, but we have been fortunate enough to experience the Champions League every season for some time now and we owe it to our supporters, to ourselves and everyone involved at the club to make qualification a must - that is our minimum target."

Terry is currently on the sidelines with a knee injury.
