When Spurs fans sang, ‘Chelsea…we’re coming for you’ three weeks ago, Blues supporters could smile to themselves. Not anymore.
Ten points adrift, and with talisman Harry Kane out injured, betting websites weren’t seriously entertaining the prospect of Spurs doing a domestic double. But how quickly things can change. That ten point lead has been whittled to four, and on Saturday Spurs can dump Chelsea out of the FA Cup semi-final, and that would be a huge psychological blow.
FA Cup Semi-final
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
This could be the defining moment of the season but it’s so hard to call. Betting odds barely split the two London giants with Chelsea marginal favourites at 2.57 to win, Spurs at 2.68 and 3.15 the draw.
Chelsea’s defeats to Crystal Palace and Manchester United have changed the mood of the run-in and Antonio Conte has a job on his hands to keep his players minds’ free from uncertainty. But that’s exactly what Maurcio Pochettino and his men will be playing on. The fit Harry Kane is happy to sow the seeds, saying: “If we win it might put a bit more doubt in their minds regarding the Premier League. But we can’t control what Chelsea do.”
Blues fans will be cheered by the news that keeper Thibaut Courtois returned to training on Wednesday.
Manchester City vs Arsenal
Manchester City is flying the Northern flag in the face of a London dominated last four, and at odds of 1.51 to qualify the Sky Blues are highly fancied. But the Gunners and City have both won two of their last three Premier League games so there’s not a lot to pick between recent form, despite severe criticism of Arsene Wenger. Two of the most coveted strikers in world football come head to head as Alexis Sanchez and Sergio Aguero prepare for a spectacular shootout.
