The stage is set this Saturday for a London Derby that never fails to entertain as Tottenham hosts Chelsea in a fierce Premier League clash. With a win in this match, the Blues could draw level with Spurs on points and potentially earn them a more favourable position on the table. Tottenham vs Chelsea preview Thomas Frank and his men were unable to match the pace of Newcastle's brutal attack as they were knocked out of the EFL Cup in a 2-0 defeat on Wednesday. The North London club will be in a hurry to put this behind them and put on a strong show against their visitors. Chelsea, on the other hand, were triumphant in a dramatic EFL Cup match against Wolves and are through to the quarter finals, where they will face Cardiff City. Enzo Maresca will also be wary of any of his players getting in the bad book of the referee, as it has become customary in recent matches for a Chelsea player to be shown the red card. Ultimately, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is a place that will test Maresca's patience, and the need to get back to the top 4 of the table can put a bit of pressure on the team.
