Chelsea and Tottenham meet for the third time this season in the Capital One Cup final and if the previous two meetings are anything to go by, we should be in for an absolute thriller.
In two matches this season Chelsea won at Stamford Bridge and Tottenham won at White Hart Lane, with 11 goals being scored across the two games.
In early December, the Blues withstood early pressure from Mauricio Pochettino's men to eventually record a highly impressive 3-0 win, thanks to two goals in three minutes from Eden Hazard and Didier Drogba, and a late goal from Loic Remy.
But less than a month later, on New Year's Day, Tottenham had their revenge, fighting back from a goal down to produce one of the performances of this season, exhilarating in a 5-3 victory.
The two sides have some pretty recent history at Wembley, with Chelsea winning a controversial FA Cup semi-final 5-1 in 2012, while Spurs won this competition - their last trophy - with a 2-1 win after extra time in 2008; Jonathan Woodgate scoring the winner.

Based on the below predicted line-ups, we've picked a combined XI ahead of the Capital One Cup final.
Chelsea: Courtois, Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta, Ramires, Fabregas, Willian, Oscar, Hazard, Costa.
Tottenham: Lloris, Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Rose, Mason, Bentaleb, Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli, Kane.

In Hugo Lloris, Thibaut Courtois and Petr Cech, Spurs and Chelsea have three of the best four goalkeepers in the Premier League. Lloris is picked because Courtois has looked shaky in recent weeks, but Cech can make a strong claim to be better than both - unfortunately for him, Chelsea are looking at the future; Courtois.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI RB: Branislav Ivanovic At one time a couple of seasons ago Kyle Walker would have challenged Ivanovic as one of the best full-backs in the league, but because of injuries the England man has dropped off. Only Pablo Zabaleta challenges the brilliant Serbian, who is an unparalleled force in the attacking and defensive thirds of the pitch.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI CB: John Terry He might be 34 but John Terry is still the best centre-back in the Premier League. Every defence in the division would be improved by his presence.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI CB: Jan Vertonghen The Belgian had a performance to forget in Florence but he is still a classy operator and Pochettino's best option. The likes of Bayern Munich and Barcelona don't become interested for no reason.
Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI LB: Cesar Azpilicueta Danny Rose is vastly improved this season and could be heading towards an England call up but the Spaniard, playing on his wrong foot, has been the best left-back in the league this season. So impressive has he been that £16m summer signing Filipe Luis is agitating for a move back to Spain.
Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI CM: Cesc Fabregas The best midfielder in England this season, Fabregas leads the assists, passes completed and chances created tables. With Nemanja Matic out Chelsea's hopes will rest on his shoulders even more than normal.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI CM: Nabil Bentaleb The Algerian, just 20, is composed and controlled in possession, giving Tottenham's creative players a strong platform on which to build. Ramires will likely start for Chelsea but he can sometimes be a liability when asked to operate in a holding role, such is his propensity for bombing forward.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI RW: Christian Eriksen A bit of a cheat selection as he usually operates on the left, but Eriksen cannot be left out of the team. The Dane is a match-winner and Spurs' best creative option. Willian is a workhorse but too often fails to deliver a decisive contribution, he has just four goals to Eriksen's 11 this season. Juan Cuadrado could also start but he needs time to settle into his new surroundings.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI LW: Eden Hazard The man Tottenham need to stop. The second Belgian in this combined team remains Chelsea's most important attacking option, and the player they look to first to win games. One of the best players in the world.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI AM: Harry Kane Another slightly contrived selection as Kane is the in-form striker in the division - but there is no way we can leave him and Diego Costa out. Oscar can be a great player at times but is far too inconsistent.

Chelsea vs Tottenham combined XI ST: Diego Costa Looked slightly off the pace in his last two games and hasn't scored in four stretching back more than a month, but it would take a brave person to bet against the striker scoring at Wembley if he gets the opportunity.
