Crack the popcorn out and get comfortable for this one. Chelsea and Tottenham have been electric so far this season while there was more than a little spark between Frank Lampard and José Mourinho when these sides met in the League Cup in September. Spurs could make a serious title statement with following up a win against Manchester City with another success at Stamford Bridge. Lampard’s side meanwhile can leapfrog Mourinho if they hold firm at home. Édouard Mendy may have a huge part to play in the outcome as his seven clean sheets in 10 games have transformed Lampard’s leaky defence. Maybe Mendy is the man who can finally halt the relentless goalscoring machine of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Graham Searles
