Chelsea and Tottenham will play this Thursday afternoon. The Blues need three points to stay in the Champions League race, while the Spurs play for their honor.
Chelsea News
Right now, the Blues are in a rough spot, not having the slightest margin for error. At least six teams besides them are chasing two spots which will lead to the UEFA Champions League next season. The 5th place in the PL standings will lead as well due to this season’s results of the English teams.
Until losing to Arsenal Chelsea had four wins in a row. They are very confident at home, where they ride a five-game winning streak, not losing the past seven events.
Tottenham News
The season started well for the Spurs, who looked promising. However, as it went by, this unit collapsed and is now in the lower part of the standings, far away from any trophy talks or even a chance to reach Europe.
Tottenham’s defense has been rather terrible. It has conceded at least a goal in the last six appearances and eight in the last ten. Seven games during that span ended with over 2.5 goals.
