Live: Chelsea Vs Tottenham

•  

  

  Meanwhile, Pochettino has made also made one change to the Tottenham side that started the 2-1 win against Everton, with Roberto Soldado, who scored in that game, dropping to the substitutes' bench to be replaced by Erik Lamela.
• Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has made just one change to the side that were held to a 0-0 draw by Sunderland in their last Premier League outing, with Didier Drogba coming into the squad to replace the suspended Costa. 

   
• Tottenham Hotspur substitutes: Vorm, Dier, Kaboul, Naughton, Chadli, Paulinho, Soldado.
• Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Chiriches, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies; Mason, Bentaleb; Lamela, Eriksen, Lennon; Kane. 

   
• Chelsea substitutes: Cech, Zouma, Luis, Mikel, Schurrle, Salah, Remy.
• Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Drogba. 

   
• There's just over 15 minutes left to go until kick-off, so let's have a look at how the two teams will be lining up this evening...
• A victory tonight will be far from easy, however, as they haven't won against Chelsea in a competitive game in over four and a half years, whilst the Blues haven't lost against Spurs in a league game at Stamford Bridge since 1990.
• Mauricio Pochettino's men head to Stamford Bridge in a disappointing ninth place but have the opportunity to climb as high as sixth if they are able to win against their high-flying opponents and their North London rivals Arsenal are beaten by Southampton in their game at the Emirates Stadium this evening. After a disappointing and lacklustre start to the season, Tottenham have won both of their last two league clashes - against Hull City and Everton, respectively - but they will be well aware that there is plenty work still to do.
• The game marked the first time that the West Londoners have failed to score this season, and they could struggle again tonight due to the absence of star striker Diego Costa, who is suspended for this evening's clash after picking up five yellow cards. The impressive Spaniard has scored 11 of Chelsea's 30 league goals this campaign, and it will be interesting to see how they cope in his absence against a Tottenham side that have looked far more confident and assured in recent weeks.

• Chelsea are cruising at the top of the Premier League table, already 13 points clear of Tottenham heading into tonight's clash, but last week saw them struggle for arguably the first time this season, as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Sunderland in a tense affair at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon.
