MATCH FACTS
Head-to-head
Tottenham have won three of their past seven Premier League games against Chelsea, as many as they had won in the previous 49 top-flight meetings (D18, L28).
Spurs are looking to win consecutive league matches against Chelsea for the first time since August 1987.
Chelsea have kept 21 Premier League clean sheets against Tottenham - a joint-high for the Blues against a particular opponent.

Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs have lost four of their seven Premier League matches at Wembley against established top-six opposition. They were unbeaten in their final 10 league fixtures at White Hart Lane against those sides (W6, D4).
Tottenham have won four successive games in league and cup, and have claimed victories in their last six Premier League London derbies.
Spurs' tally of 27 points after 12 games is their second highest at this stage of a Premier League season. They were one point better off after a dozen matches in 2011-12.
Tottenham could lose consecutive home league games for the first time since being beaten by Aston Villa and Manchester City towards the end of the 2014-15 season.
That was also the most recent occasion they have failed to score in successive top-flight home matches.
None of Tottenham's last 16 Premier League games have ended in a draw (W12, L4) - the longest current such run in the division.
Dele Alli has scored five goals in his last four league and cup games against Chelsea.

Chelsea
The Blues have kept clean sheets in four of their five away league games this season. The only goal they have conceded on the road was scored by Newcastle's Joselu in August.
Chelsea are unbeaten in 12 league games under Maurizio Sarri, and are two matches short of equalling their longest undefeated run at the start of a top-flight season (set in 2014-15).
The Blues have only won one of their last eight league games away to established top-six rivals (D3, L4) - their 2-1 victory against Spurs at Wembley in August 2017.
Chelsea have attempted 8,706 passes in this season's Premier League - in excess of 400 more than any other side prior to the weekend fixtures.
