Match: English Premier League

When: Sunday April 1st 2018

Kick-off: 4:00pm

Referee: Andre Marriner

Team Form (All Competitions) : Chelsea LLWLW Spurs WWLWW

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last 27 home league matches against us (W18 D9) since losing 2-1 in February 1990. Our 25 games at Stamford Bridge without winning in the Premier League is the most that one team has played on one ground without a single victory in the competition.

We have won more points in the Premier League London derbies this season than any other side (13 W4 D1 L2). The Blues are looking to do their first league double over us since 2005-06 season. We have surrendered the lead in each of our last two league visits to Stamford Bridge, drawing 2-2 from 2-0 up in May 2016, and losing 2-1 after Eriksen gave us the advantage last term.

Chelsea are looking to secure back to back EPL wins for the first time since December. They are winless in their last four against fellow "big six" sides (D2 L2), although all of those have been away from home. We are unbeaten in six EPL away games (W4 D2) since 1-4 loss at Man City in December. After a run of nine games in all competitions without a goal, Son Heung-Min has scored 7 in his last 5 for us. Chelsea have had 51 different goal scorers against us in the EPL (excluding own goals), more than any team has had against another in the EPL.

Under Pochettino, we have won 59% of our EPL games in which Harry has featured ( Won 77 out of 131) compared to just 39% when he has no part (5 out of 13)

I can see us playing well, but ultimately losing.

I'd feel a lot more confident with an Alderweireld, Vertonghen and Sanchez back three.

My Spurs induced pessimism is so deeply ingrained at this point, I cannot conceive of winning this game. I'm resigned to defeat; probably via a 90th minute offside deflection. Or Kane will hit the post so hard it will rebound straight into our net whilst Lloris is tying his laces.

We mustn't lose this. If we do, I'm afraid we will probably finish fifth.
There's no real reason to think that though is there. We will still be 2 points ahead with better form in general and with Liv and Chelsea having to play each other second to last game

No doubt Hazard will save his best performance of the season for this game, as he normally does.

Hate this lot more than Arsenal. I mean serious, deep-rooted hate. Please win. Please. I'll be unbearable to all my ex-glory-hunting mates.
