Thoughts From Both Camps
“We desperately want to win the next game, which is Spurs, and then there are massive games against Sunderland, Liverpool and Leicester after that. It’s normal to have scrutiny from the press because you are playing in the limelight.
We want to fulfill our obligations now, and in the upcoming games. I cannot guarantee the result but I can guarantee that the effort will be there, and not just on Monday.”
– Guus Hiddink, Chelsea.
“We can feel a little bit disappointed because the gap behind Leicester is big, but realistically we have a very good, young squad. If it is not possible to win the title this season, we need to try next season.
The potential of the club and the squad we have is massive, and the important thing is to build the project and philosophy and to settle the basis.”
– Mauricio Pochettino, Tottenham Hotspur.
Contributor’s Pick
According to Head-2-Head statistics, Chelsea have won three and lost only one of their previous six matches against Tottenham Hotspur. In fact, Chelsea are undefeated in their last nineteen home matches against Tottenham in all competitions.
However, Tottenham are undefeated in fifteen of their last sixteen Premier League away matches. Although the visitors will start as firm favorites considering Chelsea’s woes this season, a 2-2 draw is the most likely result.
