Pedro: 'Chelsea players demanded form change'

Chelsea forward Pedro says that every game between now and the end of the season will be treated like a final as the Blues attempt to qualify for the Champions League.

Pedro has revealed that Chelsea's players came together to acknowledge that a change of form was required following recent defeats to Bournemouth and Manchester City.

The Blues went down 4-0 to Bournemouth and 6-0 to Man City in the space of three league games, leading to talk that Maurizio Sarri was on the brink of being sacked.

Chelsea appear to have turned a corner over the past week, however, thanks to wins over Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham to keep their top-four hopes in their own hands.

Pedro says that he and his teammates are now treating each Premier League game as though it is a final.

"We said 'this is enough'. I spoke during the week about the situation [with my teammates], but now we're all focusing on reaching the top four," he told Sky Sports News.

"It's the most important thing for us until the end, to try to win every game. They're all finals because it's so important to get points, try to win every game and if not, it's going to be so difficult to qualify."

Chelsea turn focus to the Europa League on Thursday night as they take on Dynamo Kiev for a place in the quarter-finals.
