On Thursday, it’s time for the Europa League and Conference League semi-finals, but perhaps the most exciting match will be played at Stamford Bridge. In a London derby, Chelsea welcomes Tottenham in a postponed round 26 match. The hosts enter the game from their ninth position but are still hoping to end the season in the top six. The visitors, on the other hand, need to win all their games until the end of the season and, at the same time, hope that Aston Villa will make a mistake to qualify for the Champions League.
In the last round, Chelsea made up two goals to secure a point from a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa and effectively helped today’s opponent in the fight for the Top 4. Tottenham, however, did not take advantage and lost to Arsenal in the North London derby 2-3. With these results, there has been a decline in form for both teams, and the typical faltering has occurred throughout this season.
Undoubtedly, some of the most exciting games since the beginning of the season in the English Premier League have involved precisely Chelsea and Tottenham. This is due to the quality of the attack of both teams, as well as elementary mistakes in defence.
