Tottenham and Chelsea face off at Wembley on Sunday as Maurizio Sarri gets his first taste of a fiery London derby against Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs.
There is little love love between the bitter rivals, and Saturday’s meeting is bound to be another tempestuous clash with just one point separating the clubs in the table.
While a defeat would by no means end either sides’ respective title challenge as early as November, any dropped points will make it that much harder to catch champions Manchester City in pole position.
The rivals have met 52 times in the Premier League, with Chelsea winning 27 times, Tottenham just six, and the sides sharing 19 draws.
But the good news for Spurs fans is that two of those wins have come in the past five meetings, with the north Londoners beating Chelsea 3-1 away last season despite losing 2-1 at Wembley in the reverse fixture.
