West Ham will host Tottenham on Friday night, as Spurs have the chance to close the gap between them and Chelsea to just a point, pending Chelsea’s game against Middlesbrough on Monday night.

West Ham Slaven Bilic believes Spurs have played the better football this season.

He said, ahead of their game against Tottenham: “They are the club, for me, who is playing the best football.

“Don’t get me wrong, Chelsea deserve to be on top because they didn’t have a ‘hole’ in their season.

“But Spurs are playing at the moment and throughout the whole season the best football.

“They are a really good team with great individuals.

“I have nothing but praise for Chelsea but I have watched them over the whole season and sometimes I have gone like ‘how have Chelsea managed to make that gap?’ because Tottenham have been good throughout the season.”

With four games left, Chelsea are top of the table and four points ahead of Tottenham. I’d rather have that over playing the better football. Even Tottenham will gladly exchange their beautiful football to be top of the table.
