Tottenham and Chelsea is always a pretty feisty affair, and it’s one of the next big games to look forward to in the Premier League as we head into the busy festive period.
Spurs host the Blues for the first meeting between the two London giants this season, with Ange Postecoglou likely to be desperate for revenge after last season’s 4-1 humiliation at home to these opponents.
Both teams go into this game in good form, with Tottenham recently thrashing Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, while Chelsea have put a good run together and played stylish football under Enzo Maresca.
This looks a hard game to call, but fans will no doubt be desperate to get themselves to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to ensure they don’t miss out!
Tottenham will be frustrated to have drawn with Fulham at the weekend, and so one imagines Postecoglou might be tempted to change things around a bit.
Before taking on Chelsea, Spurs have a game against Bournemouth to think about on Thursday night, so whoever Postecoglou goes with for that game might also give us a clue about what to expect for the visit of Maresca’s men.
Tottenham predicted line up: Forster; Porro, Udogie, Davies, Dragusin; Bissouma, Maddison, Kulusevski; Son, Werner, Johnson

The west London giants have tended to rotate quite a lot for European games, but with the league fixtures now coming thick and fast as we get closer to Christmas, Maresca might also have to think about some changes for Premier League games as well.
For a match as important as Tottenham away, however, the Italian tactician will surely do his best to put how as strong a line up as possible.
Chelsea predicted line up: Sanchez; Gusto, Cucurella, Fofana, Colwill; Fernandez, Caicedo, Palmer, Madueke, Neto; Jackson
