Tottenham Hotspur play host to Chelsea on Sunday afternoon looking to move level on points with their London rivals in the Premier League table.

As a result of their 2-1 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers at the weekend, Spurs sit just three points adrift of the fourth-placed Blues.

Jose Mourinho - a two-time manager of Chelsea - will now hope that he can extend his early record at the North Londoners to six victories from eight outings.
