Man United battered by Crystal Palace 4-0: what it means for Chelsea in race for Europe

Chelsea are staying seventh in the Premier League table as Man United fell apart at Crystal Palace.

Erik ten Hag's team got battered 4-0, with two goals coming from erstwhile Chelsea target Michael Olise.

As a result, Chelsea are now ahead of Man United in the standings, having played the same number of games.

A seventh-place finish would give Chelsea a place in the Conference League — unless Man United somehow beat Man City in the FA Cup final.

However, Chelsea owners are demanding a place in the Europa League, which means the Blues also have to leapfrog Newcastle.
