Chelsea host Tottenham on Tuesday in a match which could prove decisive in both the relegation battle and race to qualify for Europe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Interim boss Calum McFarlane will remain in the dugout for the Blues\u2019 last two matches of the season, though, and will lead the team out for the penultimate time on Tuesday as Chelsea look to revitalise their push to qualify for European football.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Champions League may now be out of reach, but they could take themselves as high as eighth in the table with a win.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Chelsea vs Tottenham team news<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Chelsea are in relatively good nick coming into this match, with just two players sidelined after the likes of Reece James and Robert Sanchez came back into contention in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Both absentees are wingers, though, with Estevao and Jamie Gittens both nursing long-term hamstring injuries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Tottenham\u2019s injury headaches, meanwhile, are extensive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
There has been some good news recently, with James Maddison coming back into the fold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Guglielmo Vicario is a doubt for the match as he continues his recovery from hernia surgery, while Dominic Solanke is pushing to be involved after suffering a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Among the definite absentees are Xavi Simons, who is out for the season. So too are Cristian Romero, Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert and Ben Davies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Chelsea vs Tottenham prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
A derby clash between Chelsea and Tottenham will never fail to deliver fireworks, and, with safety in the top-flight on the line, this should be no different.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
The Blues are wounded after a dismal run of form and their defeat in the FA Cup final, but will love nothing more than to beat Spurs and keep the relegation battle alive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Whether they can do so is another question entirely. Tottenham are in rejuvenated form and will surely rally for this match.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
We expect an all-guns-blazing, action-packed affair, but home advantage might just help Chelsea edge it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Head to head (h2h) history and results<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Chelsea have won each of their last five meetings with Tottenham, by an aggregate score of 10-4.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Spurs come into this match desperate for a win, but have won at Stamford Bridge only once in their last 35 attempts in the league.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
