Tottenham Hotspur risk slipping out of the race for a European place as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to bounce back from defeat at Bournemouth in a London derby against Chelsea.
A draw at Fulham last weekend was followed by a disappointing performance at the Vitality Stadium, with Postecoglou involved in an angry confrontation with Spurs supporters after the game.
It has been an uneven Premier League campaign for the club with injuries beginning to bite, but Postecoglou will hope to return his side to the level they showed in thrashing Manchester City a fortnight ago.
They may have to find that sort of form against a Chelsea side that has impressed against both Aston Villa and Southampton in the last seven days.
Here’s everything you need to know.

Team news
Ben Davies was forced off against Bournemouth with injury and faces a scan, leaving Radu Dragusin as Tottenham’s lone fully-fit recognised centre-half. Versatile teenager Archie Gray filled in at the Vitality Stadium but Cristian Romero has been back in training and may be forced to feature. Rodrigo Bentancur remains banned while Guglielmo Vicario is a long-term absentee. Heung Min Son is likely to be recalled to the starting side.
Enzo Maresca rotated his Chelsea forward line at Southampton in midweek, with Noni Madueke, Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix all impressing. It is possible, though, that Nicolas Jackson, Jadon Sancho and Pedro Neto are all recalled, while Moises Caicedo might revert to a right-back role he fulfilled impressive against Aston Villa.
Predicted line-ups
Tottenham XI: Forster; Porro, Romero, Dragusin, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Solanke.
Chelsea XI: Sanchez; Caicedo, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Lavia; Madueke, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
Odds
Tottenham win 9/4
Draw 31/10
Chelsea win 23/20
