What do you expect as Chelsea fans for the later match against their London rival Spurs?
The match against Tottenham Spurs will kick off soon at Stamford Bridge 4 pm, London time. Both teams are out of Champion League this season therefore to gain the top four of English Premier League then qualify automatically for next season 2018-2019 UEFA Champion League will be the most important task for both coaches Conte and Pochettino.
Chelsea is currently five points behind from Spurs with eight matches left on this season. The Blues desperate to secure a win to close the gap. Spurs can be looking for a draw or win as a bonus to tighten grip on the fourth position.
Chelsea has main advantages as playing at home and Tottenham never able to break the jinx to bring the three points away from Stamford Bridge for more than 20 years. The fans hope that Conte will play attacking style like what happened against the mighty Barcelona. However, please do not put Hazard at False Nine position as statistic showed that it won't effective. Either Morata or Giroud must play and support from the wings by Willian and Hazard.
Kante absolutely included in defensive midfield and now left either Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Fabregas or Barkley will fill another midfield position. Fabregas should start as Chelsea need to score as earlier as can, no points to put two defensive midfielders as I do not foresee Tottenham will start with attacking. I predict Spurs will play counter-attack which depends on speedy Son, Ali and Kane who said fit to be played this Sunday.
Another key player no doubt will be Alonso who scores both goals to record a shock win at Wembley early this season. His forms even were dropped, however, hope he can gain the confidence back against Spurs and perform well in this vital match.
Let's hope Chelsea play an attacking and entertain style to record a double EPL win against Tottenham this season.
COME ON CHELSEA
