Chelsea can come one step closer to winning the premier league title against spurs.

Kickoff: Saturday 17 april, 17:30 GMT; 18:30 GMT+1
White Hart Lane, London

Tottenham Hotspur Vs Chelsea

Will Tottenham stop Chelsea or will Chelsea come closer to the title? Just three days after crashing out of the FA against relegated Porthsmouth, they beated Arsenal at White Hart Lane 2-1, three days later they are going to meet Chelsea.

Both teams need to win, Tottenham for the Champions League spot and Chelsea for the Premier League title. I expect both teams to attack and think it will be a tight match.

Both Chelsea and Tottenham played to matches last weekend, Chelsea won their both matches against Aston Villa and Bolton, while Tottenham lost against Porthsmouth and won against Arsenal.

Tottenham

Suspended: Palacios (one match)

Doubtful: Rose (knee)

Injured: Cudicini (broken wrists), Jenas, Lennon & Woodgate (all groin), Kranjcar (ankle)

Chelsea

Injured: Bosingwa & Essien (both knee), Carvalho (ankle)

Players to watch

Florent Malouda - Chelsea

Florent Malouda has been in fantastic form for Chelsea the last weeks, and was rested against Bolton, because of this match. He should be tightly marked on the left side.

Gareth Bale - Tottenham

Another player who has been great the couple of weeks is Gareth Bale, last match against Arsenal he came behind a sleeping Silvestre and scored with an cool finish, he should also be watched be Paulo Ferreira at the left side.

My prediction

I think Chelsea will win today, because i don't think Tottenham will be able to play 3 matches in 9 days. Chelsea is a top team and should be able to play more matches, but nothing can be decided before the game, that's why they play it.

I think the score will be 0-2 to Chelsea. My prediction has turned out wrong earlier and i hope it turns out wrong again... ;D



ENJOY!
