Two London rivals in contrasting form meet in a huge Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs are in desperate search of a positive result after a poor run that led to Ange Postecoglou being abused by unhappy away fans after Thursday’s limp 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth. Chelsea on the other hand are flying under Enzo Maresca and can move to within four points of leaders Liverpool with a win after the Merseyside derby was postponed on Saturday.
Enzo Maresca continues to insist the Blues are not title contenders but victory at Spurs would only fuel belief about what they can achieve this season. Spurs kick off down in 11th place and all eyes will be on Postecoglou amid fresh questions over their progress
The corresponding fixture last season was one of the most chaotic games in Premier League history as Nicolas Jackson scored a hat-trick to help give Chelsea a 4-1 win against nine-man Spurs.

Tottenham team news
Tottenham hope Cristian Romero will be fit to return from injury.
Romero has not played for Spurs for a month and they desperately need him to return to action after Ben Davies was their latest defender to succumb to a hamstring injury in Thursday's defeat at Bournemouth.
If the Argentine does not feel able to play, teenager Archie Gray is likely to fill-in at centre-half alongside Radu Dragusin.
Micky van de Ven is getting closer to full fitness and working outdoors but is not expected to face the Blues.
Ange Postecoglou will again be without the suspended Rodrigo Bentancur, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario (ankle), forwards Richarlison, Wilson Odobert (both hamstring) and Mikey Moore, who continues to recover from an energy-sapping virus.
