Watch Live: Chelsea fc vs Tottenham Hotspur

Both these teams have been in scintillating form of late. Neither has a blemish on their last five results, with Spurs unbeaten since their opening day defeat to Everton.

Lampard has clearly been working hard as he looks to address Chelsea’s fragile back line and he’s beginning to reap the rewards. Since shipping three at home to Southampton – a game which saw them criminally throw away two points late on – the Blues have conceded just two goals in their following eight games in all competitions.

However, their mean defence will be put to the ultimate test this weekend, with Harry Kane and Heung-min Son in superb goalscoring form this season.
