William Gallas backs Tottenham to finish above Chelsea in the Premier League
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Ladbrokes (h/t Express), former Chelsea and Tottenham defender William Gallas has backed the Lilywhites to finish above the Blues in the Premier League.
Tottenham are currently second in the Premier League table, six points behind leaders Liverpool, albeit with a game in hand. Chelsea, on the other hand, have slipped down to the eighth place in the table after back-to-back defeats against Everton and Wolves.
And Gallas, who played for both Tottenham and Chelsea in the past, has reckoned that we have a better chance at winning the Premier League title in comparison to Frank Lampard’s side. (h/t Express)
“I think Tottenham have a really good opportunity to win the title. They are strong, they play as a team and they have Jose Mourinho who has so much experience.
“Chelsea also have a slight chance of winning the league but after what I saw against Wolves in the week, you can’t afford to lose games like that late on when you look at the position they were in. Champions don’t lose those games. I’d say Tottenham are the most likely of the two sides to win the league.”
Gallas, who won two Premier League titles under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea praised the Portuguese’s impact at Tottenham, highlighting the change in mentality that he has brought about. (h/t Express)
“He has brought a winning mentality with him to a Tottenham side that have gone for so long without a trophy.”

Up next for Mourinho & co. is a difficult game against Leicester City. Having lost to Liverpool last time out, it is imperative that we pick up all three points against the Foxes on Sunday.
