Rose is very late when catching Willian, who managers to hurdle the tackle but still goes down. Clattenburg just warns the left-back - that's already five fouls from Spurs to Chelsea's zero.

Current food prep status of this match: Simmering.

All set up perfectly, as Rose tries an effort from 30 yards out and only just misses the far top corner.

10'

Willian's cross looks destined for Matic, but a timely shove from Walker means the Chelsea man is nowhere near. Only the home fans are really calling for a penalty - would have been soft.

There's some shoving and finger pointing between Dembele and Mikel after the Chelsea man goes in late... all that after a replay shows Fabregas on the ground flick out at Dembele. Tensions are high.

'Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that!'

'We hate Tottenham!'

Originality, from the home supporters.

JUST WIDE! Cahill leaps highest to meet the corner, but his header is narrowly wide - Terry meanwhile is not happy with Vertonghen grappling him as the cross came in. Could be feisty, this!

First flashpoint of the match as Dier goes in hard on Costa. A warning for the Spurs midfielder from Mark Clatternburg, who has been appointed to referee the FA Cup final between Manchester United and Crystal Palace later this month...

First meeting between Hiddink and Pochettino this.

Meanwhile, a certain Leicester manager is reportedly flying back from Italy as this game goes on. So where did Ranieri go, you ask? He was having lunch with his 96-year-old mother. Delightful.

1st Half

KICK-OFF

Right then. Will Leicester be celebrating at full-time? Or can Spurs close the gap and keep the Foxes waiting?

The ball is rolling at Stamford Bridge...

Right then, the teams are out at the Bridge.

Leicester are on the cusp, can Spurs win at Chelsea in the league for the first time since 1990 - AND keep their slim title hopes alive?

Hiddink stokes the fire: “I’m not too much in statistics, but it’s the first time in their history they’re now in the end competing for the title. In some players it might cause nerves and not by attitude, they might underperform a bit. Leicester are fearless but some (Tottenham) players might be affected by being on top and think: ‘What now?”

Poch responds: "We all love these games. This derby is a big motivation for everyone. There has been a lot said and that’s another big motivation for us to try to win the game.

“We expect a very tough game against them but we are ready and we will see what happens. The players love to compete and our objective is to win the three games.”

19.52

After this, Leicester host Everton before travelling to Chelsea, while after tonight Spurs host Southampton before heading to Newcastle on the final day.

19.51

State of play… Leicester’s 1-1 draw at Manchester United has left the Foxes eight points clear of Spurs, who know only victory will suffice to keep the title rice alive, as that would close the gap to five points with two matches remaining apiece.

19.49

Team news... Thibaut Courtois completes his two-match suspension tonight, but Chelsea are boosted by the return of centre-back pairing John Terry and Gary Cahill.

For Spurs, Eric Dier is fit to start a week after suffering concussion against West Brom, while Dele Alli is out as he begins his three-match suspension.
