Gameweek 36 culminates with a showdown at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea look to end Tottenham’s bid for the title.

The Blues prepared for this one with a comprehensive 4-1 win over Bournemouth last time out and with a double Gameweek 37 just around the corner, tonight’s match affords an early scouting opportunity as we fine-tune out plans ahead of the weekend’s deadline.

Of the two sides, though, it’s Spurs who boast the greatest goal threat ahead of a match they need to win in order to keep their slim chances of clinching the Premier League intact.

Mauricio Pochettino’s men lead their hosts by 75 shots to 46 over their respective last four – a tally bettered only by Liverpool (80) – whilst the visitors have also offered a far superior close-range threat, racking up 43 attempts inside the box to Chelsea’s 31.

In terms of defensive data, Spurs again impress more than the deposed champions, who have managed a single clean sheet in ten Gameweeks – against Aston Villa. The visitors have afforded the opposition just 25 efforts inside the box – a tally bettered by just four other defences – with Chelsea not too far back on 30.

Whilst Foxes fans will be hoping for a title-winning favour from Guus Hiddink’s side, then, the numbers suggest that the visitors still have reason for optimism as they look to keep the race for the crown alive for at least one more round of fixtures.

      No, as much as the whole team declined, his decline is the absolute worst with no one even close except maube Matic

  11. Syd.
    • 17 Years

  12. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years

  13. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      are you getting him?

      if I get him and keep Kane and Kun it means no Cresswell

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I'll decide after the game, no idea atm. Tempted.

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          This really is so confusing!

  15. VS10_
    • 10 Years

  16. FudgyBadger
    • 10 Years

    willian is a bad player

    1. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not really.

  17. Lynxy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Costa doesn't want to pass to Hazard

    1. FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Can u blame him?

  18. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Looks lively I think.

  19. Jazz!
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

  20. Jay_

    • Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Willian tempting me, but do I really want a Chelsea player?

      sun, liv

    • Studgie G
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why are spurs attacking ?

    • VS10_
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      KDB -> Hazard

    • Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Clyne's got a 0 pointer already ... Please don't join him Danny

    • Fergietime
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why was Pedro subbed?

    • Pompel
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Even though Chelski still got some quality when they care to - they surely won't care against Leicester, handing title to Spurs?

      1. FudgyBadger
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        agweeed

      2. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Judging by their fans, yes.

      3. Jøssy ⭐
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Leicester will beat Everton next week and the title will be done

    • Lynxy
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard is the best Chelsea player by far and he only came in at HT!

      1. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Willian has been their best all season and imo still is

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Hazard is definitely better than Willian, just was off form.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Don't give them encouragement. 😉

    • FudgyBadger
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard is essential gw37

      1. Robe Wan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        he's scored twice all season

        1. Muckle_ewe
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          He does sort of look like he's back on form though, playing very well in his cameo so far. Could be a good differential (player of the season last year being a differential...), in the DGW.

      2. RÏɠBY
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        why was he benched today though?

    • Sjaugen
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Set pieces has Hazard before Fabregas on pens

    • Total Foot 5
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Eden Hazard been superb since he came on, someone's really, really hates Tottenham.
