‘Crunch time’ – Some Spurs fans overjoyed at Chelsea and Leicester dropping points

Tottenham’s chances of finishing in the top four received a massive boost on Saturday with both Leicester and Chelsea failing to secure victories

Chelsea, who are now just six points clear of Tottenham, fell to another 1-0 defeat at home, this time at the hands of Bournemouth.

The result is especially crucial considering Spurs welcome Chelsea to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next weekend.

If the Lilywhites beat Wolves this evening and see off Chelsea in their next match, they will overtake the Blues in the Premier League table.

Meanwhile, Leicester, who very much looked like being the main challengers to Liverpool for the past few weeks, were held to draw at home by Norwich who are 19th in the Premier League.

The results had some Spurs fans hoping that they can finish above both the Blues and the Foxes this season. Many insisted that the game against Wolves was a must-win on the back of Saturday’s results.

Spurs Web Opinion

Given how far off the top four we were when Mourinho arrived, we have certainly made up a lot of ground on our rivals. However, an away game against Wolves won’t be easy as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are one of the form teams in the Premier League. Three points against Wolves will give the team tremendous confidence going into the game against Chelsea next weekend.
