Chelsea play at home and they don't have the extra pressure of other championships... Spurs have a Europa League game coming up against a serious opponent... Chelsea are more motivated to take three points and stay in the UCL zone... Spurs have no chance to get into the European zone this season... I think Chelsea will win today...
I don't trust Tottenham as much as I trust Chelsea when comparing both team's consistency this season. So in this encounter I see Chelsea winning this game on top of a home advantage they also have. Chelsea is fighting for a spot in the top four and that's enough motivation to give their all to make sure they win to get all 3 points to continue to stay above Manchester city. I think their distractions in their various European competitions wouldn't be an excuse in whatever results that happens to be tonight.
Spurs are currently 14th in the standings... I guess I can say that this EPL season is over for them and there is no reason to try to earn points against a strong opponent in an away game... For Spurs, as well as for Man U it is important to continue playing in the Europa League now to try to get a grip on the UCL next season... Chelsea are hugely motivated to win this game... Anyway we will see the result soon...
I wouldn’t say Spurs should just give up on this game, but I get the point—there’s little left for them to fight for in the EPL. Their focus should be on the Europa League now. Chelsea, on the other hand, have everything to play for, and with their UCL hopes hanging by a thread, they’ll be pushing hard. Spurs’ away form is awful, and motivation is lacking. Chelsea should take this one.
