Can Maresca survive at Chelsea without Champions League?

They left it late, but Chelsea grabbed a crucial win in their bid to secure a top five finish, as Tyrique George and Pedro Neto saw the Blues come from behind to win 2-1 at Fulham.

Victory at Craven Cottage keeps them in the mix for a return to European football’s elite competition next season.

But with fan discontent growing, how important is Champions League qualification for Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea future?
