Despite having the seasonal equivalent of a bumpy car ride so far, Chelsea is still in the top 4. The London-based club started off with a soul crushing 4-0 loss against arch rivals Manchester United but eventually picked up the pace. Tammy Abraham has been critical to the team’s success this season scoring almost left and right and is currently 3rd on leading goalscorer charts. Players like Mason Mount and Christian Pulisic showed how capable they can be with some incredible performances. Of course on the downside, the team has lost quite a few matches: 6 to specific, including the last 2 PL games.
Tottenham, like the aforementioned team has also witnessed a roller coaster ride of a season. At one point, the team was as low as 14th which led to the sacking of the much revered Mauricio Pochettino. But the team has picked itself up with the arrival of Jose Mourinho, winning 4 of the last 5 games. Currently due to this recent string of good form, Tottenham has made it all the way to 5th and behind Chelsea by a meagre 3 points. So naturally, 4th vs 5th carries with it a lot high stakes.
