Chelsea host (welcome is the wrong word) Tottenham at Stamford Bridge today, with a place in next season’s Champions League on the line. How will things turn out in this London derby?

Chelsea and Tottenham reversed spots on the “worrisome injury list” over the course of the weekend. Thibaut Courtois is increasingly unlikely to play, but somehow Harry Kane may make his way onto the pitch. Even as a substitute, that is bad news for the Blues and Willy Caballero. Then again, no matter who is wearing lily-white, Spurs are still Spurs and Spurs they shall forever remain.

Scott Brant: Chelsea 2 – 1 Tottenham. In the words of the King (Elvis, for you kids), it’s now or never. I can’t bear the thought of losing this match. Any hopes for top-four could be erased. Willian has been the most consistent as of late, but it will be a different Willy who saves the day this week.

Hugo Amaya: 2- 1. The Blues will have a nervy start to the game, given everything at stake, and Spurs will take advantage. However, at the break, Antonio Conte will remind his players who they are and what they are made of. Chelsea will score two goals late in the second half to get the three points and extend Tottenham’s Curse of Stamford Bridge.

Shivansh Sareen: 3 – 1. Spurs take the lead as Harry Kane rifles it into the top corner from the edge of the box. Willian gets an undeserved equalizer at the stroke of halftime before Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard steer the Blues to a massive three points in the second half.

Barrett Rouen: 3 – 2. Well I never bet against the Blues and frankly they need the win so there, Chelsea win. But they also can’t defend better than a group of blind men so they’ll have to outscore the more talented Tottenham.

Next: If Chelsea want a new manager they must keep Antonio Conte
