Chelsea criticised for using their programme to highlight their busy fixture list
Chelsea reserved a section in their matchday programme for their game against Tottenham on Sunday to point out how many games they have played compared to their rivals over the past two months.
Manager Thomas Tuchel claimed his side were 'mentally and physically tired' after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton on Tuesday.
Some may feel the German coach was making excuses for his side's dip in form, with the Blues having fallen away in the title race since the turn of the year.
However, Chelsea look to be backing their manager, and highlighted their gruelling schedule ahead of their London derby clash with Spurs.
