Chelsea have a big opportunity to close the gap on Tottenham if they can get a win against Spurs at Stamford Bridge on April 1st.
Chelsea are five points behind Tottenham in 4th position, and a win for Chelsea when the two teams meet after the international break will close the gap to two points.
Blues legend Ray Wilkins says anything other than a win for Chelsea in this game, will lead to Chelsea missing out on top four.
Asked if Chelsea can secure a top-four finish if they draw with Tottenham, Wilkins told Sky Sports: “No, I don’t think there is. I think the gap’s too big.
“The only salvation is the semi-final of the FA Cup, of course.
“It’s a must-win against Tottenham on Sunday, absolute must-win”
“It’s a must-win against Tottenham on Sunday, absolute must-win. Tottenham are without Harry Kane, which gives Chelsea the edge.
“Tottenham are in good form. I think Chelsea playing against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge will have the upper hand.”
