## The Stakes: Survival vs Top Six

Chelsea sit 9th on 49 points but have been winless in seven Premier League matches, their last victory coming in a 4-1 win at Aston Villa back in March. They are chasing a top-six finish.

Tottenham are 17th on 38 points — just two points clear of the relegation zone — and arrive at Stamford Bridge on a four-game unbeaten run that has kept their survival hopes alive. Every point is gold for Roberto De Zerbi’s side.
