Form and table position

Chelsea have won three of their last five recent matches, drawn one and lost one. Tottenham have won one of their last five, drawn two and lost two. A win would lift Chelsea to sixteen points from eight matches; Spurs would move to nine from eight with three points.

The gap between the sides is already substantial. Chelsea are seven points clear of sixth-placed Brentford and sit eleven points behind leaders Manchester City. Tottenham are ten points behind Chelsea and four points above the bottom three on goal difference alone. The market implies a home win at 56.5 per cent, a draw at 22.2 per cent and an away win at 21.2 per cent.

Head to head

Chelsea have won all five meetings listed in the data block. The most recent was a 2-1 win in May; the earliest a 2-0 win in May two years prior. Those five matches produced fourteen goals in total. Spurs host Coventry searching for first win was published ahead of their most recent match, a 3-1 win. Chelsea's last outing was a 2-0 win at Everton.
