This is a big rivalry and there is no love lost between either club, especially amongst supporters and the atmosphere in and around White Hart Lane will be "feisty" .
 

When Tottenham went to Stamford Bridge in late November, they were struggling a bit and with the Blues running into incredible form, a heavy loss looked quite possible. Chelsea did win, but had to come from behind to edge home 2-1 and Spurs were all over the home side for the first 45 minutes and totally dominated the first half until Pedro equalised just about as the half time whistle blew and that was a game changer. However, you can take comfort from a performance like that and Spurs have, winning 6/7 since and scoring 21 goals in the process. All the clubs in title contention will be rooting for them today, possible even Arsenal, although Gunners supporters would never admit it !

It is very hard to pick holes in the Chelsea current run, but if I were to try, they have come in games against the other top clubs, especially early in matches, Spurs we have already discussed and they could have been two up at the half, the Blues won at Manchester City, but trailed and Kevin de Bruyne missed a sitter when the hosts were leading and dominating , Liverpool were 2-0 up at SB inside 37 minutes and Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates after 41, so there is a pattern of Chelsea struggling early in most of the big games.
 

It is a bit of a coin flip to be honest, but given what we have seen in top 5 clashes involving Chelsea, how Spurs started the reverse meeting and how both are likely to approach today, Tottenham flying out of the blocks and the visitors a little cautious (?), I will go with the latter ...........

 

 

 

Good Luck.
