The world expects the 2014/15 Premier League champions to be crowned this afternoon, as Chelsea host Crystal Palace at lunchtime, requiring a win to seal the title. Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur locks horns with Manchester City in the tea-time kick off as firm underdogs, given that the Sky Blues emerged victorious in seven of their previous eight meetings.

For Fantasy managers, the day is all about the clash of the captaincy candidates, as Eden Hazard and Sergio Aguero go head-to-head: the outcome could well have a significant impact on the Gameweek.

Having drawn successive blanks in the Blues’ double, Hazard will look to end the campaign on a high note when the Eagles pay a visit to Stamford Bridge – the Belgian has scored in his last two home outings. Cesc Fabregas fared slightly better in Gameweek 34, notching his 18th assist of the campaign, while Chelsea’s high-ownership defenders will be favoured to deliver a fourth clean sheet in five.

Spurs will not be relishing the clash with Manuel Pellegrini’s men, considering the North London club have shipped 15 goals in their previous three meetings. A fit and firing Aguero (four goals in three) tops the list of Mauricio Pochettino’s concerns, particularly when the Argentine frontman bagging seven of those 15 goals. Nacer Chadli (two goals in as many matches) is the hosts’ form player, with Harry Kane registering a solitary goal in his last four starts. Kane’s owners will be hoping that his quest for the Golden Boot will inspire an upturn in fortunes today.

    1. Mull
      11 years, 6 months ago

      That doesn't make sense.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        11 years, 6 months ago

        The baps won't stay the same and winning goal will help him

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Food for thought

    7. Judas
      11 years, 6 months ago

      they are on equal though

  10. FPLEL
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Has any other team in recent memory won the title while being so defensive is most of their games?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Atletico to a degree, but there are different expectations relative to resources.

      1. FPLEL
        11 years, 6 months ago

        True, but yes I can understand it with Athletico. Chelsea have the resources to play expansive, high-scoring football and still clinch the title.

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Indeed, and they had the players also, many of which have been sold.

      2. Heels_Over_Head
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I enjoy Atletico so much more because they are truly coached up with limited resources.

    2. Baa
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Well being very attacking didn't work for Liverpool.

      Would be nice to see a balanced team win, but at least Chelsea know how to win.

    3. The Shadow
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal in 91. Mourinho is the new George Graham.

  11. Red Star Toro
    11 years, 6 months ago

    good decision by hazard, trying to shoot instead of passing to fabs.

  12. Heels_Over_Head
    11 years, 6 months ago

    almost want a jammy Palace goal here

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Terry OG would be priceless.

  13. Joga Bonito®
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Who's currently on baps?

    1. Bubz
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I was last night

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Cahill , Speroni and Hazard . Terry and Azpi are on 25 one point behind Hazard

    3. Billy Gilmore
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Cahill and Speroni 3, Hazard 1 (barely)

  14. boc610
    11 years, 6 months ago

    I'm glad that they don't coach this kind of football to kids.

    1. Fred54
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Don't Chelsea have an academy....DON DON DOOOOON.

      1. Bobby
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Not sure mourinho knows about it if they do.

  15. Captain Shirokov
    11 years, 6 months ago

    So apparently winning leagues and cups and demolishing all or you rivals is considered boring now.

    How petty 😉

    1. FPLEL
      11 years, 6 months ago

      The term "the beautiful game" arouses expectations that Chelsea leave unfulfilled..

  16. Bubz
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Get a yellow Hazard mate

  17. mahone24
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Stay off Remy!!!!

  18. Heels_Over_Head
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Abramovich thinking "If he keeps managing this way, I'm going to have to fire him again."

  19. Wouter
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Triple Chelsea defence next season.

    1. Reedy
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I tried that at the start of this season. Didn't go well

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 6 months ago

      That's £30m of your budget. 😆

  20. Heydudes13
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Is it really worth winning when you play like this?

    1. CABAYE4
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely 100% yes.

      Exciting winning > boring winning > exciting losing > boring losing.

      1. Heydudes13
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Imagine having to actually try to enjoy these games though

      2. FPL Daniel
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Agree 100% with Cabaye

        1. money face bandwagon
          11 years, 6 months ago

          people are being sour.

          look at arsenal..they are now contented to win the FA cup

      3. The Shadow
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Disagree. With an exciting team you get to watch dozen of good games. When a boring team finally wins, it's not like they let you ride on the parade bus with them.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      11 years, 6 months ago

      No

    4. money face bandwagon
      11 years, 6 months ago

      just ask arsenal city utd liverpool fans

  21. Punty
    11 years, 6 months ago

    This game is freaking Chelsea in a nutshell.. CPL should've had two penalties for handballs, it's a boring game, it's 1-0, there's 3 DMs on the field at home against CPL..

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Abramovic looks like he's about to take a nap

  23. money face bandwagon
    11 years, 6 months ago

    hazard cappers...happy with a 7pts from hazard?

    or rather have aguero(c) now

    1. Wouter
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Would've been better if he scored the penalty but I'll take it I guess.

      1. money face bandwagon
        11 years, 6 months ago

        yeah 7pts is an aguero goal+1bps...unless aguero goes mental if not hazard(c) is ok

    2. Pedram
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Meh it's better than nothing

    3. AIRMILES
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Given the choice, I'd switch. Was close to doing Aguero, but protecting a lead, rather than chasing, so had to go with Hazard.

    4. TheCurseOfRaheem
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Aguero. Would've been fine had he not missed the pen.

  24. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 6 months ago

    CP to score now!

  25. Greenbackbøøg…
    11 years, 6 months ago

  26. FPL Daniel

  27. brianutd-why always we? 20
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Cmon hazard one more goal

  28. Red Star Toro
    11 years, 6 months ago

  29. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 6 months ago
