Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Live score Live streaming Premier League: Chelsea have not lost a match against Tottenham at Stamford Bridge since 1990.
Tottenham Hotspur were the only club giving Chelsea a semblance of pressure on top of the table towards the end of the previous season. This season, though, Chelsea’s chances of securing a Champions League spot depends upon how they do this season. They are currently in fifth place and trail Tottenham by five points which can reduce to two if they win this match. It is being played at Stamford Bridge, which means that a win for Chelsea is the most likely among the three possible results. After all, the last time Spurs beat Chelsea at the Bridge was the season when Liverpool won the top tier, the 1989/1990 season. It means such an result has never happened in the Premier League era.

Last season marked the first time in 21 years that St Totteringham's Day did not happen. This year there is a very good chance that Spurs might just be the top ranked London team in the Premier League. Arsenal are 10 points behind them and a win here could put them beyond the reach of Chelsea as well. West Ham United are not even in the picture. The last time Tottenham beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, though, it was in a world very, very different from the one we are living in. It was one in which 'Premier League' was yet to become a term, the names of any of the English giants were yet to be the wildy recognisable mosters they are now, Liverpool were eventually champions of that season (the last time they won the English top flight) and Leeds United would be champions in the next. Eden Hazard, Harry Kane, Dele Alli et all were yet to be born.

Yep, there is Harry Kane.

Tottenham: Lloris; Trippier, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Davies; Dier, Dembele; Eriksen, Alli, Lamela; Son. Subs: Vorm, Aurier, Rose, Wanyama, Sissoko, Lucas, Kane.
6, 3, 3, 1, 10, 1; Chelsea's finishes in the last six seasons of the Premier League could be mistake for the annual salary of an overpaid washed out superstar playing in the Chinese Super League. In keeping with their recently picked up habit of being the antithesis of the team they were in the previous season, they have gone from runaway Premier League champions to a side fighting for fourth spot this year. Antonio Conte said that Chelsea are having the season that they "are deserving" and that the difference between them and Spurs is esseentially the number of years the two managers have been in office. Spurs have been the better side this season and a win here would all but guarantee them a berth in the Champions League next season and condemn Chelsea to the Europa League, or worse. There are rumours going around that Harry Kane might be sitting on the Spurs bench.
