Tottenham Hotspurs are welcoming their London rivals Chelsea in a London derby tonight. The match promises entertainment and drama in equal measure given the high stakes and bragging rights that come with it.

Spurs lost 3-1 to Liverpool before falling short against Brighton in their last match where they lost with a solitary goal. Jose Mourinho will be seeking to bounce back against his former employers who are equally fighting to shed off a forgettable past.

Tottenham are missing the services of English striker Harry Kane who exited the match against Liverpool prematurely after he suffered what looked like a knee injury. Kane’s return remains unknown. Chelsea on the have all their players match fit. But the Blues are fighting to strike a run of wins after a losing streak that saw club legend Frank Lampard dismissed and replaced by Thomas Tuchel.

Blues beat Burnley 2-0 in their last match after suffering a barren draw with Wolves in their last match. The two sides have same number of points, 33, even though Spurs have a game less.

Yesterday, Liverpool suffered a 1-0 defeat against resurgent Brighton while league leaders Manchester City brushed aside Burnley in a 2-0 defeat.
