Alan Pardew: “It would be a kick in the teeth for us if Chelsea knocked us out.
“We don’t want Chelsea to win the Champions League because we want that spot, along with Tottenham and Arsenal.
"It would be very harsh if we finished fourth and then missed out on the Champions League.
“The Europa league, we’re there really and that’s a major achievement for all of us at the football club but we have this opportunity of getting into the Champions League.
“We have some really tough games, but maybe that’s the best way to do it, because if we do it, we’ll have beaten some of the best teams.
“We are relaxed and we are calm.
"We’ll go to Wigan at the weekend looking to win the game, there is no point going there for a draw as far as we are concerned.”
