da bet7： Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat at Manchester United in their last Premier League outing means that the gap from the league leaders to second-place Tottenham Hotspur in the table is just four points.
da wazamba： Chelsea will have the chance to stretch that lead to seven points when they welcome Southampton to Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, but anything other than a win would open the door for Tottenham to snatch the title away from their capital rivals.
Antonio Conte’s side have wobbled in the league in recent weeks, but they will enter the match full of confidence after knocking Tottenham out of the FA Cup in the semi-finals at the weekend.
Chelsea have already lost at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League this month, however, with Crystal Palace securing a 2-1 victory when they travelled to the league leaders on April 1.
Southampton, meanwhile, have eighth-place West Bromwich Albion in their sights as the Saints look to finish top of the ‘mini-league’ outside of the top seven.
On Tuesday afternoon, Chelsea’s supporters were out in full force on Twitter as they considered the importance of tonight’s fixture in the English capital.
