Chelsea Vs Tottenham review

Tottenham go to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon, hoping to continue their 100 percent away record, while Chelsea will be hoping to pull one ever their boss Mourinho. The winner of this fixture will finish matchweek 10 as leaders of the pack and set the tone for the New Year.

Chelsea come into this game two points behind Tottenham, but with both clubs harbouring realistic hopes of being in the title race. Lampard's side have won their last six in all competitions but none of those opponents will pose as big a threat as Spurs, whose own recent for is seven wins in eight games. With two intense local rivals, both in excellent form and two managers who know each other very well, it could be a great game or a very special one.
