Chelsea must use two days break to show a new level of freshness against closing Tottenham | OneFootball

After the draw with Brighton on Tuesday night, a shattered Thomas Tuchel informed the media that his players would have two days off. Today is the second of those days, and tomorrow the players return to training with two days to prepare for the game against Tottenham on Sunday.

We had better hope those two days have made all the difference, because this team is seriously slumping, and a chase for the title is now turning into a battle for the top four.

While the Blues took a rest yesterday, Tottenham beat Leicester in the last minute to close even tighter to us in the table. That will give them a major morale boost, but they have one day rest less than us now.

We thought last weekend’s game against Man City was crucial as it was our last chance in the title race. In fact, this Sunday’s match could prove even more pivotal.
