Chelsea keeper Cech highlights importance of Tottenham win in 'Match of the Year'

Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has labeled tomorrow's meeting with Tottenham as his clubs 'Match of the Year'.

The Blues host Spurs in a London derby at Stamford Bridge and Cech is well aware that a win is vital to keep their top four hopes alive as they sit five points behind their North London rivals.

"With how the league has developed, this is a key game," he posted on his official website.

"At the moment it's the match of the year. We have to win to get closer to Tottenham and have a chance to get in front of them later.

"I believe we would heap pressure on them if we won. On the other hand, to chase them if we failed wouldn't be good."
