Chelsea FC vs Tottenham Hotspur
One team is fighting to retain its Premier League championship throne, while the other team is fighting to retain its Champions League qualification.
Only one will emerge advantageous.
After a slew of draws against purported easy opponents, we are seeing our re-entry into Europe's most prestigious competition next season getting dimmer. With Manchester City and Liverpool looming over the fixture horizon, nothing less than a string of victories all the way to the end of the season will guarantee a place to the mainland.
Spurs will be travelling west of the capital to meet Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where we had never won before since the inception of the EPL. With a number of our players injured, especially at the backline, we would see Bale playing at leftback and Kaboul at rightback, with the usual stalwarts Dawson and Gallas in between. With Bale out of the midfield formation, Lennon, Modric, Sandro and Van der Vaart may make up this area. Lastly, any 2 of our strike trio would be in front.
Ancelotti will be going for broke against us, especially so that they are the only challenger to Manchester United for the EPL championship. Playing their usual 4-4-3 formation, with players such as Luiz and Torres (at least in blue) playing against us for the first time, this would be a slightly different Chelsea that we had played at the Lane.
Expect this match to be a cracker.
COYS!!!!
