Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League: Confirmed lineups

Chelsea could win the Premier League ... for Leicester City tonight!  A win or a draw against second place Spurs would confirm Leicester as Champions of England.  Presumably, the world wouldn't stop spinning even as this most unlikely of outcomes becomes a reality.

So, let's win (or draw) this one for The Tinkerman!  I see you Claudio, flying back to England from Italy right now.

Guus Hiddink has opted for an ultra-defensive lineup, with the customary back four reunited for the first time in forever and a strong pairing of Mikel-Matic ahead of them.  There's no place for Hazard in the starting lineup, which is a bit of a surprise.

COME ON, CHELSEA!
