Will Tottenham continue their miraculous run?

According to statistics firm Opta, Tottenham's chances of avoiding relegation are now 93%, following their rivals West Ham's 1-3 defeat to Newcastle. A draw against Chelsea would give Tottenham a truly safe lead over West Ham: a three-point advantage and a significant advantage on goal difference (13 goals). This would be an irreversible gap in the final matchday. Besides their high morale, Tottenham also have the crucial advantage of knowing their specific objective before the game. De Zerbi has undoubtedly prepared a suitable strategy.

This London derby will be fierce, because while Tottenham need points to secure their survival in the league, Chelsea must win to move into the group that qualifies for European competition next season. The outcome is uncertain, but the game's dynamics are predictable. Chelsea will be forced to attack against a defensive Tottenham. Chelsea have home advantage, but it's worth noting that Tottenham have only shown themselves to be impressive when playing away this season.

Both sides are without their best players due to injury problems. However, specifically at this time, Tottenham have just had the important return of James Maddison. Meanwhile, Joao Pedro of Chelsea suffered an injury in the FA Cup final. Tottenham also have a slight edge in terms of recent form. They are on a four-match unbeaten run (two wins, two draws). That alone is quite remarkable, considering Tottenham hadn't won a single game since the beginning of 2026.

In the other match, Antoine Semenyo scored a superb goal, securing a 1-0 victory for Man City against Chelsea in the FA Cup final last weekend. Semenyo's impromptu backheel goal confirmed he is Man City's most successful new signing this season. And now Semenyo will return to face his former club Bournemouth (1:30 AM on May 20th), where he shone in the first half of the season (Semenyo transferred mid-season). His new team must win to maintain their hopes in the title race against Arsenal. His former club also needs to win to qualify for European competitions for the first time in the club's history.

Bournemouth could become the biggest sensation in the Premier League this season. They are currently on a 16-match unbeaten run. At home, they have only lost two games this season, one of which was against league leaders Arsenal. It's hard to imagine that in the penultimate match of the season, Manchester City's title ambitions could be threatened by a relatively unknown opponent like Bournemouth.

Despite having the busiest fixture list in England these days, Man. City will still have their strongest squad available. Conversely, Ryan Christie of Bournemouth will be suspended after receiving a red card in the previous round. However, this isn't a major disadvantage, as Bournemouth's success is often based on teamwork and fighting spirit rather than individual brilliance. The chances of Man. City dropping points are quite high.
