Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur do not get good results from their game last night. They will face each other on weekends, staying in the mission to finish top four.
Chelsea lost 1-2 in the trip to Etihad Stadium, host of Manchester City. It at once became the first defeat of the Blues in the era of temporary manager, Roberto di Matteo, who had always won in four games, including those who passed into the Champions League quarterfinals and semifinals FA Cup.
But in the League, Chelsea is still below the Champions League zone, precisely in the fifth. They've lost eight times out of 29 parties, collecting 49 points, five adrift with Tottenham, which is in fourth place.
To get into the top four, beat the Lilywhites is the best way to do Juan Mata et al. The reason is very simple: if you win, their value increases three to 52, while its rivals remain 54.
Opportunity is large enough partly because Chelsea will play at home. Although the defeat of the new City, but the morale of the players is not expected to fall because they are still fresh in the atmosphere since changing coaches. And fans will definitely support them all out.
Factors opposing team whose performance is declining even be a distinct advantage for Chelsea In fact, the Spurs have never won in the last four games in the league. Three of them are even a defeat, that of Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton. Last night (21/3) they were held to 1-1 draw by Stoke City.
Conditions that inhibit Rafael van der Vaart et al who even had to compete with the City and Manchester United in the race for the title. But they have not had a chance again because it was the City had 14 points, and 15 of the MU.
Alas for them, Arsenal already overtaking and took third place thanks to a 1-0 win at Everton last night too. Then his manager Harry Redknapp got the mission of "double" now, which is not evicted by Chelsea anyway, and hopefully can take back the third position from Arsenal.
Tottenham versus Chelsea match will be held at Stamford Bridge on Saturday (24/3) day after tomorrow. In their first meeting in north London, both teams share the score 1-1. Spurs scored first through Emmanuel Adebayor in the eighth minute, Chelsea replied through Daniel Sturridge on 23 minutes.
