Buoyant Chelsea extended their Premier League lead and calmed nerves at Stamford Bridge with a 4-2 win over Southampton on Tuesday that moved them seven points clear of their nearest pursuers Tottenham Hotspur. The leaders have responded impressively to their setback at Manchester United 10 days ago.
On Tuesday afternoon, Chelsea's supporters were out in full force on Twitter as they considered the importance of tonight's fixture in the English capital. "A big psychological step after the defeat against United".
"(We have) six games where every single one of them we need three points, because I don't believe Spurs will drop too many", Fabregas said. To have a chance of honouring Ehiogu with the club's first title since 1961, Tottenham need to extend their current seven-game winning streak in the league.
"I was pleased for Willian".
Tottenham must overcome an in-form Crystal Palace tonight if they are to close the gap back to six points, but Conte insisted the title race is not over yet. We can't control what Chelsea do now. "If we see the quality of his games since the beginning of the season, N'Golo Kante brings the same qualities as Oriol for us because he's very consistent and in every game he gives good performances, with consistency and quality".
Earlier, Willian scored a first-half brace for Chelsea but each time he netted, Tottenham equalised through Harry Kane and Deli Alli. If we sell some players it is because we want to sell some players. It's right to be focused. "In this part of the season, at the end of the season, you must try to have balance to try to understand the situation and put both teams in the same condition to fight".
It was not all plain sailing for Chelsea against Claude Puel's enterprising side.

Conte praised the Spanish international's attitude and workrate.
"It's normal for the strikers that it is important to score". "The goals are their life".
"I am happy for my goal, it was a great goal, but it's not the best I've ever scored", he said. He always worked for the team.
"For me, it is very important to develop our football", Conte said. I have all the players available. Now he must continue.
"We conceded the goals in bad moments, after five minutes, just before half-time, just after half-time. this made the difference".
After Cesc Fabregas and Hazard worked a smart corner-kick routine, the former fed Diego Costa who showed strength and technique to hold off his marker and direct a flawless header past Forster for his 50th Premier League goal.
