Antonio Conte is expecting a tough Premier League contest this evening as two teams who need wins for different reasons go head-to-head at Stamford Bridge.
"There are two teams with desperation to find the result because Middlesbrough have to win if they want to continue to hope to play in the Premier League next season," the Chelsea head coach said ahead of Monday's 8pm BST kick-off.
"For us it’s the same - we have to win because Tottenham Hotspur are very close. We must be ready to fight and find the right way to take three points."
