It feels like a familiar scenario for Tottenham -- first Arsenal, now Chelsea. For the second time this month Mauricio Pochettino's side are visiting bitter and in-form London rivals on the back of a demoralising Champions League defeat, probably feeling the clash has come at a bad time. The portents are certainly ominous for the team from White Hart Lane, whichever way you look at it.
Spurs have not secured a league victory at Stamford Bridge for 26 years and even when they led 2-0 last season they were unable to finish the job.
Chelsea have certainly improved since then and now sit top of the league after winning their last six league games without conceding a single goal.
