#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.
