Chelsea host their London rivals Tottenham in the capital derby, in the eighth round of the Premier League. Chelsea come into the match fourth with 13 points from 7 games, after a 2-0 away win over Everton, while Tottenham sit 16th with only 6 points, but arrive in high spirits after a 3-1 home win over Coventry City. The seven-point gap between the two teams in the table makes this an important test for both: Chelsea want to cement their place in the top four, and Tottenham are looking for a result to lift them out of their stuttering start.
