Chelsea v Tottenham: match preview

The dynamic has changed before Chelsea and Tottenham meet for the third time this month. Chelsea dominated their rivals in the Carabao Cup semi-finals but Thomas Tuchel’s side have stuttered in the league and Spurs are on a high after their dramatic win at Leicester. Harry Kane is scoring again and Antonio Conte, who remains unbeaten in the league since his arrival in north London, will sense a chance to drag his old team into a battle for a place in the top four.
