Jurgen said in his pre match prezza that we desperately need to win this and he is right.
Atm we have 71 points from 35 games and Chelsea have 63 points from 34 games.
If we draw today that will give us 72 points from 36 games, Chelsea however would have 2 games in hand on us, if they win those 2 games that will put them on 69 points, just 3 points behind us, and we still have to go to Chelsea.
That's if we draw, If we lose today Chelsea would have the opportunity to overtake us!
We are in a good position but we have got to keep winning, we can't afford to back last weeks draw at West Brom up with another draw or loss.
Another factor at play is the fact that if Stoke lose today they are down, with a CL semi and maybe even a final on the horizon Stoke are obviously going to try and get stuck into us to see if any of our players are worried about the prospect of picking up an injury and potentially missing career defining games.
Stoke's players are playing for their livelihoods, if they get relegated their wages will take a massive hit, we need to bring our A game. The CL run is great but we can't take our eyes off the ball in the league.
