Tottenham Hotspur are the only team in the Premier League that can beat Chelsea, believes Wilkins.
Tottenham Hotspur are currently in the title race in the Premier League yet again. Spurs are chasing Chelsea, the runaway leaders, with hope of toppling Antonio Conte’s men and winning the league.
One Chelsea man certainly believes that Spurs are the only team that can beat the club. Ray Wilkins, who played for and coached at Stamford Bridge, believes Spurs are the only team that can beat Chelsea over 90 minutes.
But it is for that exact reason he feels Spurs cannot catch Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino’s side have already played Chelsea twice this season.

Wilkins told Sky Sports:
“I think the only team in the Premier League, who they don’t play again, that can beat Chelsea is Tottenham.
“They bullied us, they beat us up at White Hart Lane and deservedly smashed us, I’ve got to say, and I think they are the only team that can beat Chelsea from here on in.”
Spurs recently ended Chelsea’s incredible winning streak with a Dele Alli-inspired 2-0 win at White Hart Lane. They also faced them in November at Stamford Bridge. On that occasion Chelsea won 2-1 thanks to goals from Pedro and Victor Moses.

Tottenham are clearly up to the task of chasing Chelsea all the way and will no doubt be looking to do just that.
But just as with their pursuit of Leicester City last season, it is looking increasingly likely that Spurs may have left themselves with too much to do.
