Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are in contention to reach the lucrative competition as they sit just five points off [fourth-placed Chelsea](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) and are in the driving seat in their [Europa League last-16 tie with Olympiacos](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/51828534).

One fan claimed he was ‘chuffed’.

> Very true, I’m chuffed he’s happy. The whole squad is happy come to that.!!
