With Tottenham Hotspur still riding an unbeaten league run, it seems inevitable that Chelsea will be the one to end it.
With five wins and six draws so far this season, many are wondering when this run will end for Tottenham Hotspur. They have certainly had a number of close calls and even experienced losses in the League Cup and Champions League, and with some tough fixtures ahead it seems unlikely that it will continue too much longer.
West Ham are next up at White Hart Lane, and given their start to the season it seems likely that Spurs will manage to avoid defeat. Unfortunately they follow that up with a trip to in-form rivals Chelsea, who seem poised to make a deadly title run following an initially poor start to the campaign.

The key factor for Spurs is that they have a Champions League tie away in Monaco just four days prior, which could prove to be the catalyst for their downfall. Given that Chelsea have no European competition to speak of they will be fit and prepared for the game at Stamford Bridge, and they have a long history of getting one over on their London rivals.
Spurs have been riding their luck for a few weeks now, and perhaps getting the pressure of an unbeaten run off their shoulders will be a good thing. Either way, do not expect it to last any further than November 26th.
