Chelsea and Tottenham clash in an intriguing fixture on Monday.

Chelsea has had a season to forget, but they could spoil Tottenham’s season by officially ending the Spurs’ title hopes. Asmir Begovic will start in net, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Branislav Ivanovic, Gary Cahill, and Abdul Baba Rahman likely to feature in defense. John Obi Mikel and Cesc Fabregas will play in the center of the park, with Pedro, Willian, and Eden Hazard in attacking midfield. The controversial Diego Costa will lead the line, looking to make a case for himself for selection for Spain at the upcoming UEFA European Championship. Tottenham will have Hugo Lloris in goal, with Kyle Walker, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, and Danny Rose in defense. Eric Dier and Moussa Dembele will play in defensive midfield, with Erik Lamela and Christian Eriksen in attacking midfield. Heung-Min Son will likely join them in place of the suspended Dele Alli, providing for Harry Kane up front. With a likely unfocused Chelsea side and a motivated Tottenham side running on all cylinders, expect over 2.5 goals to be scored. And even though this match will be played at Stamford Bridge, Tottenham could win comfortably by a score like 3-1.
