The last match of a quick-fire Gameweek 20 takes place at White Hart Lane this evening as Tottenham entertain London neighbours Chelsea. Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be desperate to avenge their 3-0 reverse at Stamford Bridge early last month and welcome their visitors in fine form, having dropped just two points in the last four matches.

Up against a defence with six clean sheets in eight, though, the home side face a tough task. Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen are the dangermen here – both players have served up four goals and two assists in their last eight, with Eriksen edging it for bonus by ten points to nine.

For Chelsea, John Terry will be looking for a third goal in four appearances in what has been a favourable festive period for the Blues’ skipper. Eden Hazard goes into this one with a goal or assist in each of his last four, though Cesc Fabregas has been the league leaders’ most consistent performer on the road, with returns in seven of his ten away appearances. Up front, Diego Costa’s underlying stats remain strong in spite of some limited recent returns – he’ll be looking to notch on the road for the first time since Gameweek 11.

The team news offers few surprises from the Chelsea camp as Cesar Azpilicueta is recalled at left-back, while Oscar and Willian return in midfield for Mikel and Andre Schurrle – Cesc Fabregas will switch to a deeper role alongside Nemanja Matic, then. Spurs make three changes in opposition – Danny Rose comes in for Ben Davies at left-back, Kyle Walker is recalled for Vlad Chiriches on the right and Nabil Bentaleb recovers from illness to replace Benjamin Stambouli in the middle of the park.

      Why bench the most in form player in the league? Its there own fault, confused by the price tag. You dont bench the no.1 Spurs striker

    Why did I bench Kane?!

    1. Morbius
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Had the dilemma of Eriksen or Kane.
      Unanimous decision on here to bench Kane. So I did.

      Been the worst GW for me EVER. Kane has more points on his own than my entire squad - and all 11 played (16 points)

  15. Jafooli

    Terry OG?

    Lads don't mean to be THAT guy but why in hell would you bench an in-form striker at home in a derby match.....

    5 goals and nothing for Eriksen! How unlucky can I get?
    Good Night! *Logs Off*

  20. Monklane
    • 16 Years

    All things considered, I rather wish I hadn't benched Kane.

  25. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago
