A thrilling London derby awaits this evening as Tottenham host Chelsea in the capital.

Three points separate the sides ahead of kick-off with a costly defeat at home to Sunderland last weekend seeing the Blues slip down to ninth place.

Spurs are flying under Thomas Frank but it is at home where they have had their biggest problems with their only two defeats this season coming in front of their own fans against Bournemouth and Aston Villa.

Tottenham are still without some key players across the squad today but do have their skipper Cristian Romero available again.

Chelsea meanwhile remain without Cole Palmer with Liam Delap also ruled out this evening thanks to his daft red card midweek.
