Chelsea face Tottenham at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
The most anticipated match of the week features two of the top five Premier League teams, both of whom have title aspirations.
Chelsea are England’s in-form and haven’t conceded a goal in six Premier League games, a remarkable stat and the biggest reason why the west London side have won six on the trot and sit atop the ladder.
It’s not just Chelsea’s defense that is making headlines. They have the league’s second most prolific offense, scoring 27 goals in 12 matches. The Blues, during their six-game winning streak, have outscored their opponents by an otherworldly 17-0.
There is no question that Spurs have their work cut out for them. Crashing out of the Champions League midweek won’t help the North Londoners’ confidence, but they can now concentrate more, even if they qualify for the Europa League, on their domestic campaign.
Spurs pulled off a miraculous comeback to win 3-2 in another London derby against West Ham last week. They’ll hope that win acts as a springboard to launch their Premier League title pursuit.
Harry Kane has scored three goals in two games since returning from injury against Arsenal a fortnight ago. He’ll be looking to score the first goal against Chelsea in over 540 Premier League minutes.
Spurs are currently in fifth place, four points adrift of Chelsea and one behind Arsenal for fourth, the final Champions League berth.
Tottenham Hotspur are without the suspended Danny Rose and the injured Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela, while Chelsea will start with the same first 11 that has brought them such recent success.

The odds are stacked against Spurs for this mouth-watering affair. They’ll have to find a way to stifle Chelsea’s dominant attack, led by two of the league’s top five goalscorers. Diego Costa sits atop the list with 10 goals, while Eden Hazard has seven from an advanced midfield role.
Tottenham, even with Chelsea’s six consecutive clean sheets, have a better defensive record than their west London counterparts. Spurs have only conceded eight goals all season, one less than Chelsea.
Tottenham must show their defensive prowess in a game that will test just how good they are as a defensive unit.
