Beat Tottenham

On April 1st, Chelsea’s rival for 4th place visits them at Stamford Bridge. The Blues can’t tie this game and they certainly can’t lose it. They must beat Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on April 1st. If they don’t, then there’s no point in doing anything else on the rest of this list. Antonio Conte’s men need to stake their claim for that which they want most. It’s Champions League or die at this point and Tottenham are the closest team. The stage is set.

Tottenham have shown themselves to be a better team than Chelsea in almost every regard this season.  There’s no two ways about it.  They play as one, they have commitment to themselves their club and their manager and, well, Harry Kane is simply awesome. That said, football is not about who was better in the past or who will be better in the future. It is about who is better on the day. On April 1st, the Blues must be better.
