Chelsea win would take Tottenham relegation fight to final day
The stakes could not be higher for Spurs. Coming into this match, Tottenham have been locked in a grueling battle for survival.
As things stand, they sit on 17th place, two points above 18th placed West Ham, who lost to Newcastle on the weekend.
Spurs have a chance to capitalise and secure survival by winning tonight. A point would also be enough as they have a much better goal difference compared to West Ham.
However, a defeat against their bitter rivals tonight would officially take the Premier League relegation fight down to the final day of the season where West Ham will take on Leeds while Spurs will be up against Everton.
