Good afternoon and welcome to LIVE coverage of Chelsea against Tottenham from Stamford Bridge. Should be quite an afternoon in London with the sun out in the capital. Gorgeous day for this match.

Here is the report from the 1-1 draw between the sides earlier in the season.

MATCH ODDS: Chelsea 5/6, Tottenham 10/3, Draw 13/5.

TEAMS: Chelsea: Cech; Bosingwa, Cahill, Terry, Cole; Essien, Lampard; Ramires, Mata, Sturridge; Drogba////Spurs: Friedel, Assou-Ekotto, Kaboul, Gallas, Walker, Bale, Parker, Sandro, Modric, Van der Vaart, Abebayor

TEAM NEWS....John Terry returns for Chelsea with Didier Drogba replacing Fernando Torres. Daniel Sturridge and Michael Essien also start for the home side. Emmanuel Adebayor starts up front for Spurs. William Gallas and Sandro also start with Ledley King not fit for action.

Harry Redknapp: “It’s a big game for us for sure. We’ve got a lead over Chelsea but we’ve got to maintain that lead. It’s going to be tight getting down to the end of the season. The Champions League places are all up for grabs now. It’s just closed up. From being 10 points clear we’re now only five points clear of Chelsea now. From being 10 points clear of Arsenal we’re suddenly behind Arsenal by a point. It’s not been ideal. Arsenal have been on an incredible run of winning games."

Roberto Di Matteo: "We cannot look further ahead than the next game, we haven't got the time to do that because the position we're in doesn't allow us to do that. We're playing every three days so we need to utilise the whole squad, select a team that is fresh and can reach the intensity levels you need. The recovery time at the moment is more important, sessions are short to maintain fitness levels and sharpness but there's not much time to do anything else."
