The Battle for Top Four is On!
As the season approaches its conclusion and teams fight to avoid getting relegated from the Premier League, a mini drama unfolds as Chelsea is gradually closing the gap from Tottenham for the 4th spot from which it's possible to qualify to play in the Champions League next season.
A few days ago it seemed like pretty much a done deal, however Spurs' surprise defeat away at West Brom and Chelsea's quality win over Liverpool mean that the battle for top four is now truly on again.
Tottenham has got to win one and draw one of their last two fixtures in order to ensure success, while Chelsea has got to win the last two games to stand any chance of getting that final lucrative 4th position. It's interesting that Newcastle will play a major role as they will play both Spurs and the blues.
Their Remaining matches:
May 9th Chelsea v Huddersfield
May 9th Tottenham v Newcastle
May 13th Newcastle v Chelsea
May 13th Tottenham v Leicester
Do you think Chelsea have got a chance of nabbing that elusive fourth spot? Is Spurs' loss at the Hawthorns indicative that they are faltering under pressure?
