on Monday night when in-form Nottingham Forest visit Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n<p>Just five points separates seven teams competing for the remaining European spots and McFarlane wants Chelsea to \u2018focus\u2019 on their own job rather than look at the fortunes of other teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I know people don\u2019t want to hear this because it\u2019s boring, but we just have to focus on the next game,\u2019 said McFarlane.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s beating Nottingham Forest on Monday, and then beating Liverpool at Anfield and trying to tick them off and win as many games as possible, finish as high up the league as we possibly can.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018That\u2019s all we can control.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>As McFarlane said, a trip to Anfield awaits Chelsea following their home match against
