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.

      Noble nailed on if fit and in good form. Alli suspended. Makes sense.

      Information in the midweek games is worth 0.1m, imo.

        Even if they both go out, they still may rest players

    Does anyone else have an issue that when they press on a comment in the sidebar, you go to the top of the page it is from instead of directly to the comment itself?

    I always have to scroll down and look at all of the boxes to find a [-] next to the one where the comments is from.

      Not seen that. Do you have replies hidden?

        Hi, thanks for the reply. Yes, I've had that for years and before the upgrade it was always a collapsible with a [+] and the # of replies to click on.

        Ever since the upgrade, it doesn't work anymore.

          We have that fixed on our test site as part of a big update which is imminent. Hopefully not long before we roll that out.
