Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has said Chelsea will not qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Carragher was analysing the Blues’ 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town in the Premier League on Sunday.

However, Carragher was more positive regarding Newcastle United’s bid to finish in the top five.

The Magpies’ 4-1 win over Manchester United later in the day saw them overtake Chelsea and climb into fourth place.

Enzo Maresca’s men face a difficult run-in, with a home game against champions-elect Liverpool and away fixtures against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.

This season, the team in fifth will qualify for the Champions League, but Carragher does not expect Chelsea to make it.

“It’s a massive blow, that,” Carragher said on Monday Night Football.

“It’s not just the two points they miss out on, it’s one of those fixtures that you look at on paper and think ‘that’s a guaranteed three points,’ because Chelsea have got really tough fixtures between now and the end of the season. I don’t see them making the Champions League. I don’t see it.”
