The third-placed Blues have their final two Premier League matches against champions Liverpool and high-flying Wolves.

Frank Lampard said Chelsea's last push for the Champions League will "be tough" but insisted it will not come down to a test of nerve.

Olivier Giroud wasted a hat-trick of chances before heading home Christian Pulisic's teasing cross as Chelsea saw off already-relegated Norwich 1-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

The third-placed Blues moved four points ahead of both Leicester in fourth and Manchester United in fifth, with their final two Premier League matches against champions Liverpool and high-flying Wolves.

Norwich were unable to generate any clear-cut chances, but manager Daniel Farke still hailed the commitment of his Canaries, who had seen their relegation confirmed with a 4-0 thumping by West Ham.

"I have to say I am pretty pleased with the reaction of my lads," said Farke.

"We had to deal with the disappointment against Chelsea's need to win this game.

"And I think we were unbelievably competitive, really compact and not that far away from winning a point."
