Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea: match preview

Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur v Chelsea: probable starters in bold, contenders in light

Mauricio Pochettino has referenced his Tottenham side’s performance at Stamford Bridge on 26 November as a turning point of sorts in the season. They had been positive for the first 45 minutes and the manager felt that it showed they were over their Champions League exit. But they still lost, as everybody has done to Chelsea in the league over the past three months. Tottenham are in form and this could be wild. Can they stop the Chelsea juggernaut? David Hytner
