Team News
Tottenham
Chelsea
- Dele Alli is suspended for the welcome of Chelsea, with Christian Eriksen moving into the number 10 role as a result.
- Alex Pritchard and Nacer Chadli both miss out for Spurs due to injury.
- Erik Lamela is a doubt having missed the midweek win of Qarabag, but should be fit to feature here.
- Thibaut Courtois and Falcao will both miss the trip to Spurs through injury.
- John Terry will also sit this tie out after suffering an ankle problem against Maccabi Tel Aviv, meaning Kurt Zouma should start alongside Gary Cahill at centre-back.
- Cesc Fabregas is a doubt with a toe problem, but is likely to be fit to feature from the off, while Ramires will be assessed closer to kick off.
Spurs looked a bit wary of Chelsea despite their form, probing the ball toward the edges at times to try to put players in behind, usually full backs, but it was otherwise narrow and made Chelsea better able to track movement. Disappointing really.
Wow
Two of the best teams in the EPL combine for 5 shots on target in another 0-0 draw. Best league in the world! LOL
Epic, battle for the worst PL team in London: draw.
Mourinho logic: Hazard hasn't scored in his last 10 appearances. I'll play him at striker.
Chelsea played 4-1-4-1.
@TacticalMastermind Mostly on the ball. Off the ball they are 4-4-2.
3:1
3:1
Benching Costa and testing Hazard at striker position in one of the most important Chelsea matches upto now is a horrible mistake. This is not the perfect time to test your players at different positions and bench one of the best EPL strikers.
@HassanAshas I don't think it's testing. It' either because of rift between Mou and Costa, tactical change (or simply resting Costa).
@Castle That's stupid... Resting Costa? Hazard need that more. Fights between manager and players shouldn't effect the team performance or chemistry. That's really stupid from Mourinho
@HassanAshas It seems to be purely tactical since Chelsea try to play quickly to Hazard. Also Pedro defends more than Hazard which is why he plays in central.
Unless Chelsea can get a Spurs player sent off, 3-1 Spurs. A Mourinho team that is defensively weak is no team at all.
Rooney should feign a long-term injury and quietly fade from view if he wants to retain any dignity at all.
@hyperion True but why do you post that here in a Spurs- Chelsea game?
draw 2-2, Chelsea are slowly better, but defence is not solid
X-2 chelsea win 1-1 / 1-2 Both tems score 1st hT
Spurs Vs Chelsea : 1-1 :D gas gas
Why does everyone troll Hazard? He's Chelsea's highest rated player!
@belgianfootball Because maybe he doesn't perform anymore?
Chelsea win
@wolfmother If wolfmother bets on Chelsea you can shure expect Tottenham to win...
Wow my comment was deleted but Jeu's are allowed. Harsh. Anyway, I just think Chelsea will win this or it will be a draw.
I think Jeu is a Spurs fan. Anyways, I fancy them to win in this "no win" fixture for a Gooner. The 5-3 last season at the Lane, when Chelsea were playing well I might add, stopped the general Chelsea dominance in this fixture and I'm sure the Spurs attack will be buoyed by Chelsea's defensive ineptitude thus far. Alli is a big miss for Spurs, and I expect Mason to play in his place as he is more defensively astute than Dembele. If Spurs can get Son, Eriksen and Lamela (providing he's fit) working like a classic Brazilian 3 behind Kane then I fancy them to score 2 or 3. You can never rule Chelsea out, regardless of how badly they seemingly play. Hazard at his best can create a chance out of nowhere (and buy 1 or 2 free kicks...) and Willian is up there with the best free-kick takers in world football atm (Eriksen up there too incidentally). An early Spurs goal will prevent the big blue bus being rolled out so hoping that happens, I'll say 3-2 Spurs. Painful to say.

tottenham has a very long travel as chelsea,predict tottenham victory
Tight match and probably the most important game of the season for Chelsea so far. Spurs to edge it 2-1!
A tired spine vs a broken spine (injuries, form, etc.). Close game, but I'll also go with 2-1 Spurs
Starting to get nervous about this one. I would really love to see a win! COYS
Chelsea could surprise but I'll go for spurs. 2-1.
ithink the safest bet for this match is over 2.5 goals
An interesting game but Chelsea can surprise Tottenham stronger
We need to win to send a message! COYS
it is a tough game for Tottenham especially they are travelling far from home
Spurs to win this
