The View From The Other Side
Everton Programmes|Everton v Chelsea

James Benge from the London Evening Standard provides the lowdown on Chelsea’s season and where he believes the Toffees can hurt their double-chasing opponent today…

The View From The Other Side

James, Antonio Conte has enjoyed an incredible first season in charge of Chelsea but just how well have the supporters taken to him?

The fans adore him. Whenever Chelsea score at the moment it seems like they are chanting Antonio’s name, rather than the player who has scored! He has such passion for the team and that was evident from day one when they beat West Ham 2-1 with a last-minute Diego Costa goal and he was running into the crowd and hugging supporters. Chelsea have had their ups and downs with managers but they certainly love Conte, unconditionally.

How important do you think the midweek 4-2 win over Southampton was in terms of the title race?

It was massive. I think, heading into this week, with the home game against Southampton followed by a trip to Everton, it felt like it could be a decisive one. It feels like there is real momentum back now after the FA Cup semi-final win against Spurs and Tuesday’s result. This afternoon’s game is probably Chelsea’s most difficult they have left in the run-in and if they can end up getting a point or even three points, that would go a long way to securing the title.

Top of the league with five games to go and an FA Cup final to look forward to. Is a Double inevitable?
