Spurs off to face Eagles

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, pictured above, has no fresh injury concerns ahead of their trip to Crystal Palace tonight.

Danny Rose is not yet ready to return after almost three months out with a knee injury, meaning Ben Davies is likely to start at left-back.

Erik Lamela and Harry Winks are both out with hip and ankle injuries respectively while goalkeeper Michel Vorm is struggling with a knee problem.

The Eagles will be missing defender James Tomkins.

Relegation rivals Middlesbrough and Sunderland clash at the Riverside Stadium and seventh-placed Arsenal welcome champions Leicester.

Chelsea’s prospects of a double in Conte’s first season as head coach remain alive.

Tottenham play their game in hand on Wednesday at Crystal Palace and have the more challenging run-in on paper.

Chelsea play Arsenal in the FA Cup final on May 27 and will hope to have wrapped up the league by then, with Sunday’s trip to Everton the most difficult proposition in their final five games.

The Blues had lost two of their previous four league games – to Palace and at Manchester United – but shook off the wobble at Wembley.

Yet there were more anxious moments to come against Saints, whose pace and ingenuity troubled the Blues.

This was Chelsea’s first home game since it was announced that John Terry would be leaving in the summer following 22 years of service.

The club captain came off the substitutes’ bench for his 714th appearance and first in the league since November.

Conte felt the changes he made for last Saturday’s semi-final were justified..

“It was a good win and I think today I have to be pleased for a great effort, a fantastic effort from my players. It wasn’t easy to play after a tough game against Tottenham,” he told Sky Sports 1.

“It shows my choices were right for the game against Tottenham and for the game against Southampton. It’s not easy for the coach to take this responsibility, to make these strong choices, but I have to be pleased because I have a squad of great men and good players.

“It’s important for us to look at ourselves, these are the most important things. We must be ready and to prepare for the next game as we look at ourselves and not the others.”
