Didi Hamann insists Premier League title race is far from over
Chelsea sit top of the Premier League table but saw their advantage over second-placed Tottenham cut to seven points on Saturday.

Chelsea host Manchester City on Wednesday (8pm), while Tottenham travel to face Swansea on the same evening (7.45pm).
Tottenham sit seven points behind Premier League leaders Chelsea
And former Liverpool midfielder Hamann believes all the pressure is now on Chelsea as Spurs have nothing to lose.
Hamann told Paddy Power: “Tottenham have nothing to lose and the pressure is all on the Blues now.
“I don’t see Spurs going away – the way they are winning without Harry Kane is very impressive.
“If Chelsea don’t win on Wednesday at Stamford Bridge, it only takes one more loss and Tottenham could be in touching distance.
“The title race is back on.
“Every game is a cup final for Chelsea now and any dropped points is a chance for Spurs to close in. And the fixtures don’t come much tougher than Man City.”
