The two London rivals have been embroiled in some feisty affairs in recent memory and goals have never been in short supply. There have been 29 across the last ten duels and the upcoming Premier League battle at Stamford Bridge should serve up a fair few more.

Chelsea continue their push for the top four when they host Tottenham, who are simply looking to ruin the party given they have little else to play for during the remainder of the Premier League season. Recent history suggests they will find it difficult to upset the odds at Stamford Bridge, though.

Ahead of Thursday's duel, here's a reminder of the last five meetings between Chelsea and Spurs.

Momentum is everything in football. The early flow of last December's seven-goal stunner favoured hosts Spurs after two Marc Cucurella slips were punished by ex-Chelsea star Dominic Solanke and Tottenham's 2024/25 talisman Dejan Kulusevski, but Jadon Sancho's exquisite strike cut the deficit and filled the travelling Blues with confidence.

Chelsea's persistence paid off after the break as Enzo Fernandez's powerful drive was sandwiched between two Cole Palmer penalties - the second of which was a cheeky Panenka. Clumsy fouls from Tottenham's two holding midfielders proved costly, with Son Heung-min's 96th-minute strike proving nothing more than a consolation.
