Tottenham Hotspur take on Chelsea this evening.

Tottenham Hotspur are looking to get one over on rivals Chelsea this evening in a big Premier League clash.

Chelsea have won their last 13 Premier League matches in a row, and will tie a record set by Arsenal if they beat Spurs this evening.

They beat Tottenham 2-1 earlier in their winning run, but had home advantage for that contest, while the game came days after Spurs had been eliminated from the Champions League and Chelsea had benefitted from a week’s rest.

There are no mitigating factors for Spurs this evening if they fail to win, and they have more incentive than ever to get a result.

Tottenham feel they owe Chelsea a result after the Blues ended their wilting title chances last season at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs can also climb above rivals Arsenal in the Premier League table, after the Gunners slipped up away at Bournemouth last night.
