Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow will be aiming to extend the visitors' 28-year wait for a league win at Stamford Bridge and keep their hopes of Champions League football next season alive in the process.
Spurs sit five points above the English champions in the fourth and final Champions League place with just eight games of the campaign to go.
Missing out on the top four would almost certainly seal Chelsea manager Antonio Conte's fate with speculation already rife over the Italian's future and who trigger-happy owner Roman Abramovich could look to as his successor.
However, Conte remains hopeful that Chelsea can make up the lost ground caused by four defeats in their last six league games.
"If we win, we go very close to Tottenham," said Conte. "Otherwise, we continue to stay not so close and, with seven games to go, it will be difficult to take a place in the Champions League."
"I think it is not a point to be focused on for us. We must be focused on the win and the performance."
- Kane comeback? -
==================
"After Bournemouth everybody believed it would be a long period out, but the resolution has been fantastic."
Spurs have coped impressively without Kane during injury absences over the past two seasons. However, Conte was clear he would rather not have the headache of stopping he called "one of the best strikers in the world."
"When you have a player, a striker, who scores 30 goals every season, for sure when he's missing you can feel this."
