Chelsea is six points behind Man Utd, and an upcoming direct game, on Old Trafford.A victory here against the Spurs leaves them in the battle for the title.
Chelsea are sitting on the second spot at the moment with 67 points in 34 matches. Their home record reads W13 D2 L2, scoring 35 goals and conceding 10 in those games. Chelsea are on a row with 5 consecutive home victories since that loss to Liverpool with 0:1. The Blues have won all London football derbies this season, beating Arsenal, Bolton, Fulham, and West Ham. A victory in this match, will give Chelsea hopes that they can still win the title in Premier League.
Tottenham are currently 5th in the table, 4 points away from the 4th spot, a place which guarantees them participation in Champions League next year. With an upcoming direct match against the fourth, Manchester City, the Spurs would want the point difference to be as minimal as possible. Their away record reads W6 D5 L5, scoring 22 goals in those fixtures and conceding 24. Since February 15th, Tottenham has recorded two draws and a loss in the 3 visit in Premier league.
Tottenham has won 2 and lost 2 London derbies this season, as a visitor. A victory over Arsenal with 3:2 and Fulham with 2:1 and two losses to West Ham with 0:1 and Bolton with 2:4.
