Mauricio Pochettino planning for next season at Chelsea despite talk over future

Ahead of last weekend's 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest, the 52-year-old – who is set to meet with the owners and sporting directors to assess the team's progress after their final Premier League game – appeared to suggest he could walk away from Stamford Bridge at the end of the campaign. Only the division's top three have collected more points than Pochettino's side since they were beaten by Wolves on Christmas Eve, a run which has thrust them into contention to qualify for next season's Europa League.
