Tottenham Hotspur will hardly be relishing their latest attempt to secure a first top-flight win at Stamford Bridge since 1990. Spurs are still coming to terms with their midweek defeat in Monaco which has cast them from the Champions League, with their unbeaten league record now under threat against the revitalised leaders. Antonio Conte’s side have been untouchable over recent weeks, a three-man defence yet to be breached after 590 minutes and the forward line back to its rampaging best. An awkward evening awaits the visitors. Dominic Fifield
