Fans will have to wait until Monday night for one of the biggest games of the Premier League weekend but it should be worth waiting for as Tottenham host Chelsea.
Tottenham are the Premier League leaders coming into the weekend although they are unlikely to be at the top when this game kicks off on Monday evening. They have been in superb form under Ange Postecoglou and are yet to lose in the league.
As for Chelsea, there were signs of them finding their way under Mauricio Pochettino – who is returning to Spurs for the first time since being sacked in 2019 – but a 2-0 loss at home to Brentford last weekend has caused a lot of the panic to set back in and they need to put in a good performance here to nip that in the bud.
Here is all that you need to know about Tottenham vs Chelsea in the Premier League.

While Postecoglou has got almost his whole favoured starting XI available to him, the depth of the squad has taken a bit of a hit with injuries.
Ryan Sessegnon, Ivan Perisic, Manor Solomon and Alfie Whiteman remain out, while key man Destiny Udogie is a doubt for this game but he has not been ruled out yet.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Richarlison; Son.
Chelsea have got even more injuries to deal with which isn’t a huge shock when you consider the size of their squad. Big names such as Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Ben Chilwell and Romeo Lavia remain out.
The main focus is on Ukrainian talent Mykhailo Mudryk, with the former Shakhtar Donetsk winger trying to recover in time from a muscle injury.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Silva, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling; Jackson.
Up until the end of last season, this was a fixture that Tottenham were really struggling to take all three points from, but they will feel that they have a wonderful chance to get another home win over Chelsea and get one over former boss Pochettino.
They are top of the league for a reason and Chelsea still look a long way from a team that can really challenge towards the top of the table, so Tottenham simply have to be viewed as the most likely winners on Monday night.
