Chelsea can’t shake Spurs – Matic ready to scrap for Premier League title

Tottenham can close the gap to a point if they win at West Ham United on Friday – which would leave Chelsea to stew for three days before their home game with Middlesbrough. ‘It was a very good game from everyone, from start to finish, said Tottenham’s Jan Vertonghen.

“Now we just have to win our home games, that will be very important”.

“They had won the league, then they won the league again, and then they won the cup”. “That would be disappointing”. West Ham, who are 15th in the league, have kept three clean sheets in their last four league games and extended their unbeaten run to four games.

Pochettino: “They were already focused on the game, on the derby, they did not realise what happened in the game between Everton and Chelsea…” Now we can say that we are more mature. We will still have to rely on Liverpoòl and City to drop more points, but that is not unlikely given most of our rivals’ form of late. I’m not sure this will be the case with Tottenham.

But Cahill insists the Stamford Bridge club are working on the proviso that Tottenham will accrue maximum points between now and the season’s end.

“I think it was a big win for Chelsea and they’ve nearly got one hand on the trophy”, added Carragher. Each time we win, they win.

Currently six points off the pace it is hard to see any way back for the Gunners now, even though they have a game in hand on all those above them. Everything is open until the end.

“That could be a chance to put psychological pressure on Chelsea”.

Tottenham lost 1-0 at West Ham past year but beat their London rivals at White Hart Lane earlier this season. “It shows the way the club’s going”. We have got a fantastic manager who is one of the best in the world. “We are not happy with it but we don’t compare ourselves to Spurs, we compare ourselves to where we want to be” Wenger said. Hazard scored one and set up another to make it 4-2.

“I feel angry and disappointed because obviously this is not a game we wanted to lose“, Cech told reporters after the match.
