Get Ready For a Battle In London

#1

Spurs will be just over 24 hours removed from losing to RB Leipzig in the Champions League, meaning Chelsea will fancy their chances against their striker-less rivals.

#2

Chelsea have been anything but solid at the back in recent weeks, while Spurs’ two top goalscorers are both sidelined.

#3

Chelsea are almost as critically injured as Tottenham – Ngolo Kante is out and defender Andreas Christensen is also a doubt after both picked up injuries against Manchester United.

#4

Spurs sit just one point behind the Blues after three straight wins in the Premier League while Frank Lampard has overseen just one victory in six.

#5

Spurs may revert to a 4-4-2 setup, with Japhet Tanganga coming into the side and Serge Aurier pushed forward.
