Tottenham Hotspur head to this game with the advantage, having picked a 1 – 0 win at home in the first leg, but we can’t say this tie is over just because of that. Chelsea are still a formidable side, even though lately they have not picked the desired results. In their last outing, the Blues had a poor show and went on to lose 0 – 2 to Arsenal and this time they will need to smarten up, knowing this is the first piece of silverware they can lay their hands on in the season. Both sides know it will be Manchester City for them in the final and thus they have to give all for the big finale. Spurs have injury concerns with Dele Alli, which will be a major blow here but they will cope, looking at the size of the team and after struggling to beat Fulham over the weekend, they will hope for an easier outing at the Bridge. There are no guarantees for that though. Chelsea have six wins in their last 10 matches, with just four clean sheets, which is not a very good stat ahead of the game against Tottenham, who have failed to score just once in the last 20 matches. Chelsea are however a stronger side at home. This season they have played 18 home games across all competitions and they have lost just once, winning 13. Meanwhile, in 19 away matches, Spurs have lost three. In the last 15 though, they have suffered just one loss and won 12. In the last three meetings, Tottenham have emerged winners but in the long run Chelsea hold the big stick, with 61 wins in 144 meetings while Spurs have 48.
