Although, theoretically we still need another three points to reach the magical 40 point mark we should achieve this with six games still to play. However, this does not mean that our season is over as we can have a massive impact on who wins the title this year. Imagine if the title race goes down to the wire again and on 18th May Leicester can repay Chelsea by beating Spurs at the King Power to seal it for the London Blues. Oh, what irony.
In fact, the similarities between Chelsea’s season in 2016 and Leicester’s this year are interesting. After winning the Premier League the previous year Chelsea struggled for most of the season and ended up finishing 10th. They sacked their Title winning manager and they went out of the Champions League at the round of 16 (one round earlier than we did this year). Could the Gods of fate once again have their say and deliver a another cruel blow to Spurs?

In order of most likely....
1. We beat you, but the title is already gone
2. You beat/draw with us, but the title has already gone
3. We beat you, the title is on
4. You beat/draw with us and end our title bid
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I see it a different way.
1. Chelsea have already won the league and you're deflated again so we whip you like Newcastle did.
2. Chelsea have already won the title but you're playing for pride and you narrowly lose or draw.
3. Chelsea haven't won it yet and you need to beat us but fail.
4. Chelsea haven't won it yet and you beat us and it's still on.
Going by history, I'd say that's way more likely.

Like it or not, we are currently head and shoulders above you. It is not me being arrogant, the table does not lie - we have almost double the points you do.
We are the PL form team.
All bookies will have us as favourites to win at your ground because of this.
If we played you in Shakey's early reign it would be a big worry, but by the time we play you will be safe, the buzz of Europe will have subsided and the honeymoon period will be over. Signs there already after Everton mauling you 4-2
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Great let's hope Poch and your guys look at that result and jump to the same conclusion - that would be a massive mistake. Shakey made changes thay day that meant we were carp defensively, no way would we have lost with our best XI out.
I can cope with a draw at our place if it gives Spurs the title.

I dont think it will matter Nuneaton - I am sure the title will ve over by our game.
Not given up hope but we need Chelsea to drop at least 3 points from Saints H and Everton A this week in my opinion.....and of course for us to beat Palace A and Arsenal H

Chelsea's fixtures are really kind and that's why I think it'll be all over before we play. They will most likely win all of them and you will drop some points because your games are simply a lot tougher.

You could say that Chelsea have already done the hard work given that they have a 4 point lead at the top even before playing Middlesbrough and Sunderland at home.

This is true.
Sad to see Chelsea breaking Spurs' hearts again 😂

This is a killer blow mentally. If the title race wasn't over already, it is now.

More likely the title race will be over by our game, and we beat you easily.
Not so romantic, but more likely to happen
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah because you do so well at beating us, you even failed to beat us when we were crap. You ain't beating us at home but the title race probably will be over by then because Chelsea will win all their games against the lower opposition they're facing while you have tricky trips to Palace and West Ham, as well as the NLD and United at home. You'll drop more points than Chelsea will.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have played you three times at your place since you got promoted and have W2 D1 L0. Not sure where this myth comes from that we struggle at your place.
Home and Away since your promotion we have W3 D2 L1.
Not to say we will win up there at all, but going on recent history it would appear more likely than not.
As I said, it is also likely the title race will be over by then anyway.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You played us when we completely battered you on Boxing Day and we were bottom of the league so not at our best. Last season it was early doors before we got into our stride but before that you've had a torrid time against us. We beat you in the FA cup when we were in the Championship and always beat you at Filbo too.
You're going to face us at our best this time and better teams than you have come and failed to beat us. It might be a draw but you won't beat us.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Soooooo......
