Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur
There are few bigger clashes in UK’s capital city and with a top four place at stake when Chelsea hosts Spurs on Sunday, this one is going to be a cracker.
One of these two Champions League regulars look like missing out this year, and Chelsea are the favourites to suffer that disappointment, with betting tips pointing to a five-point gap for the Blues to make up. But history is in the hosts’ favour. Spurs have failed to win in 25 league football games at the Bridge!
This is a match with a whole heap riding on it and it’s massive for both coaches. Antonio Conte hasn’t cut a happy figure this season and he knows only too well what happens to any Chelsea boss who fails to stay in the top four. On the other hand, Mauricio Pochettino is yet to win a trophy in his fourth season as Spurs’ boss.
Eden Hazard is Chelsea’s main man and can weave his magic whether playing up front or as a supplier while Spurs’ Heung Min Son is proving an able deputy for the injured Harry Kane, as Dele Alli continues to struggle for form. Son has bagged 12 league goals, one more than Hazard who is Chelsea’s top scorer. Can he help Spurs to break their Stamford Bridge hoodoo? They have skill in spades but don’t always deliver against the big boys.
Win on Sunday and it will all look so different for Chelsea, the deficit down to two, Spurs stopped in their tracks and without Harry Kane. But lose, and it could be bye bye Antonio come May.
