Chelsea vsTottenham: A fierce derby!
(Baonghean.vn) - Early tomorrow morning (02:00, May 3), the two "big guys" of London, Chelsea and Tottenham, will enter the most important derby of the Premier League this year. Because it will decide Tottenham's final efforts in the championship race with Leicester City. But it seems that the "cruel fate" of the "Hotspur Rooster" has been decided when Stamford Bridge is always a place where it is easy to go and difficult to return for them. A draw is enough to make all of Tottenham's efforts go down the drain when the "Foxes" officially take the throne.
But like previous seasons, the Premier League is always attractive until the final rounds. However, the "Crown" seems to have an owner (in theory) when Leicester City won an important point at Old Trafford to widen the gap with Tottenham to 8 points. Obviously, the situation of this race has been somewhat decided and the wind will only turn if Tottenham wins all 3 remaining matches, at the same time "The Foxes" lose in the match to welcome Everton and the last train to Stamford Bridge to meet Chelsea.
However, in reality, that is impossible, because Leicester only needs 2 points to win the championship - something that is too easy for the "Foxes". Meanwhile, winning 9 points in the last 3 matches is an "impossible" task because Stamford Bridge is truly a "curse" for the "Hotspur Rooster".
Although Chelsea no longer has any goals to strive for, their honor does not allow them to surrender to Tottenham. The history of the London derby at Stamford Bridge is also completely against Tottenham. Here, they have never known what victory is, and in the last 3 matches, Tottenham was turned into a defeated general, leaving the "battle" in humiliation when conceding a total of 9 goals without a reply.

This away trip, they also do not have the service of "Best Young Player of the Season" - D.Alli due to a 3-match suspension, and "killer" H.Kane is showing signs of slowing down after a series of consecutive scoring matches.
As for Chelsea, although the brand of a “big guy” is no longer as valuable as before, the image of last season’s champion has disappeared as they are stuck in 10th place on the rankings. However, honor will help them extend their unbeaten streak at Stamford Bridge against their “hateful neighbor” Tottenham to 27 matches in the past 26 years (won 18, drawn 8).
Once again, Chelsea will make Tottenham go home empty-handed and their “fire” of ambition will be extinguished at Stamford Bridge. Because Chelsea almost has the strongest force with the recent brilliant form of E.Hazard and C.Fabregas, along with the return of Courtois, Terry and Cahill. It is not a battle because of hating “the Rooster” that helps “the Foxes” win the championship early, but more than that, it is because of pride, because of the honor of a derby that is always fierce and fiery.
Unfortunately for Tottenham, the championship they dreamed of would have lasted longer if they had not had to face a Chelsea team whose poor performance was enough to make their "neighbors" shed tears to see the "Foxes" wearing the "Dragon Robe".

Although coach Pochettino firmly declared that the championship race is not over yet, unfortunately, the season will not end in their way. Because Tottenham has no right to decide when their fate is being placed in the "hands" of their "rival" Chelsea. To be more precise, they have erased their dream of the championship. In the last 8 matches, Tottenham drew 3 and lost 1, from a gap of 2 points to 7 points and now 8 points. The unfortunate stumble in the match against West Brom in the last round has officially brought Tottenham's ambition to the brink.
Perhaps, the squad that Pochettino is building is not to win the championship this season. The players are too young, their future, the championship of Pochettino and his team is still ahead, at the end of the next seasons. As coach Pochettino shared: "If we cannot win the championship this season, we still have to build a solid foundation for the club. We want a really bright future."
Chelsea - Tottenham, a derby that probably has more meaning in terms of honor. Because the team at Stamford Bridge has run out of goals and the championship dream of the "Rooster" is unlikely to come true. Another dramatic derby, but it will be much more cruel if Tottenham loses, or even draws. Because it means they have to face the harsh reality that the Championship Cup has been brought to the King Power stadium of the "Foxes".
