Tottenham v Chelsea Match Preview
Tottenham host Chelsea on Saturday afternoon with the chance to keep the pressure up on rivals Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
Micky van de Ven’s heroics at Everton last weekend saw Spurs maintain third place in the table and a win against the Blues could see them keep up the chase.
Thomas Frank has started well at Tottenham and could make a statement with victory at home. Both sides have scored 17 times in the league so far so goals could be plentiful, while Chelsea have a great record at Spuurs’ new ground.
The Blues have won five of their six league visits to Tottenham Stadium. What a record!
