Spurs vs Chelsea 
What a time in the season to play this fixture. With no other competitions to distract us, Spurs will face a resurgent Chelsea with almost a full squad available, except for Hutton and Defoe who are out on injuries.
Spurs have performed really well against Chelsea since the Carling Cup final in 2008 where we won 2-1 in extra time. The corresponding fixture in the EPL last year saw Spurs come back from 1-3 down to draw 4 - 4 in what was arguably the most thrilling match I had seen. Early this season, Spurs also came from behind to draw 1 -1 at Stamford Bridge which was significant in that it was Darren Bent's first goal for Spurs, and also the first goal we scored for the season, AND the first point we won for the season.
Guus Hiddinck has engineered a return to form for Chelsea in recent games and Drogba is dangerous again. But as not winning this match is not a disaster for Spurs, I expect that the players will enjoy playing in front of the home crowd and put together some nice flowing football. I fancy a score draw for this match.
COYS!!!

Spurs will be playing kingmaker this time round, as we may hold the key as to who will be the top 3, since we'll be playing Chelsea, Man Utd and finally Pool.
We had already dented Villa's chance for the CL.
