Now every game remaining for Chelsea should be considered a cup final, and that’s how important a top four and Champions League qualification is.
Of course, we shouldn’t even be in this position, if we hadn’t been our own worst enemy over the past few months, we should have been pretty much there by now.A 2-0 win over Wolves at home was a good example.
Now that we face Leeds United on Wednesday, with both Arsenal and Tottenham looking for a top-four spot, the stakes remain high.
Things certainly don’t look right in the camp right now, and something seems to be bubbling up.Blues legend Pat Nevin took note, saying there is now “a tension in the air”.
But at the same time, someone who also likes to add positivity, thinks Lukaku will score another brace against Leeds tomorrow night!
“All this excitement doesn’t take away the importance of Elland Road tomorrow night,” Nevin wrote in his latest column on Chelsea’s website.”I wouldn’t be surprised if Romelu Lukaku hits the headlines again, along with another goal or two. There are as many strikers as there is oxygen, and these two in Bridges Goals would have an amazing impact on the big man.
“He’s fighting for a starting spot on the weekend, as well as a top-four finish, just like everyone else, and what big-name players like best is to play big games and make a big impact.
“There is tension in the air and the club has the opportunity to influence days on and off the pitch in incredible ways for years to come. By this time next week, we could have lifted a major trophy, safely Playing in the Champions League and preparing for a new owner and next generation of the club.”
