Manchester City's Champions League qualification push runs through six more Premier League fixtures after Sunday's trip to Stamford Bridge. Here is the honest assessment. The target: maintain or improve their current top-four position. Based on the table, City need approximately 13-16 points from their final seven games to guarantee Champions League football next season. The schedule has a mix of home and away games, including at least two fixtures against sides with genuine motivation to take points from City — teams fighting relegation, fighting for European spots of their own, or simply enjoying the opportunity to test themselves against the league's biggest clubs. City's squad, at full strength with Rodri anchoring the midfield, is good enough to navigate this. The concern is fitness and fatigue management across simultaneously competing in Europe. Guardiola's track record in run-ins is impeccable. Even in seasons where the title has slipped away, City have rarely dropped out of the top four. The infrastructure and squad depth makes CL qualification the minimum expectation. Sunday at Chelsea is the first of seven. Win it, and the roadmap looks cleaner. 📅 Sun 12 Apr, 07:30 UTC | Stamford Bridge 🏆 GW30 | The CL Roadmap
