Jose Mourinho: Every game at the moment is a big game for Mourinho. Chelsea have had a poor start to the season so far and they go into the game on the back of four defeats in six in the league. It’s probably not the best time to play against this in-form Tottenham side. They will take confidence from their last two results though, a 4-0 win at Maccabi Tel Aviv and 1-0 win albeit uninspiring against Norwich City.
Best stat…
12: Tottenham haven’t lost in the Premier League for 12 matches. An under pressure Jose Mourinho faces a tough challenge when they head to White Hart Lane.
Remember when…
Tottenham came out on top in an eight goal thriller at White Hart Lane last season?
Player to watch…
Harry Kane: The England forward has the best goals per game ratio (0.86) in London derbies. Kane has 12 goals in 14 games in London and will be looking to continue to improve that when they face Chelsea on Sunday.
