Tottenham Hotspur
We meet Chelsea for the third time already this year as we travel to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday (kick-off 4.30pm UK).
Having come up short in each of our three matches against the Blues so far this season, including a 2-0 reverse at the Bridge just a couple of weeks ago in the first leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final, we’ll be aiming for a good result ahead of the winter break.
