Match Venue And Kick-Off Time
Tottenham Hotspur will face off against Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday by 14:30 WAT in a highly-anticipated Premier League clash.
Match Preview
Tottenham is looking to build on their recent 2-0 victory over West Ham United, which came after back-to-back defeats against Leicester City and AC Milan in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League, respectively.
The win saw Tottenham climb to fourth place on the league table, although they have played one more match than Newcastle United.
Meanwhile, Chelsea has struggled to perform despite significant investments in the squad during the winter transfer window.
The Blues have only managed to win one of their last ten games across all competitions, scoring just four goals while conceding eleven.
However, they will hope to turn things around when they take on their London rivals on Sunday.
Chelsea has had the upper hand against Tottenham in their last ten meetings, winning six and drawing four.
However, given their current form, Spurs might have a chance to win. The game is expected to be a challenging encounter for both teams, with Tottenham hoping to secure another win to maintain their position on the league table, while Chelsea will be looking to secure a crucial victory to get their season back on track.
