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.”
