A Champions League spot is still on the cards for Tottenham Hotspur and have two games-in-hand over fourth-placed Aston Villa but need to make the most of this starting with a trip to Stamford Bridge. Chelsea’s season continues to be full of mediocrity and inconsistencies but Spurs have suffered back-to-back defeats going into this match.
The bookies are expecting a close-knit encounter at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea priced as the slight-favourites at 13/10 with while Spurs are 17/10 and a draw is 29/10. The Blues have lost just one of their last 33 home league matches against Spurs which was back in April 2018 – when Pochettino was at Tottenham.
If Ange Postecoglou’s side manage to win both their games in hand (as well as a like-for-like result at the weekend) then they will find themselves just a point behind Aston Villa going into the last game of the season but that will be a tough ask with Liverpool and Man City both in the equation.
