Alli heads wide under pressure from Moses after Eriksen's raking cross from the right had picked out the midfielder in the six-yard box. He should have done better.

Spurs can't make anything of the corner. Chelsea counter, but Willian's low curler is easily blocked by a Spurs foot.

Andreas Christensen powers an acrobatic diving header behind for a corner after some slick play from Spurs saw them work a good situation down the right.

Moses is back on his feet and good to continue. Cagey stuff early doors.

STAT: Tottenham are the only unbeaten side in the Premier League in 2018, winning seven of their 10 matches.

Can Spurs end their Bridge hoodoo? You have to go back to February 1990 for Tottenham's last victory at Chelsea. That's a whopping 27 league matches - and 30 in all competitions. In terms of the Premier League, it's 25 games without winning which is the most that a team has played at a ground without a solitary triumph.
2'
Spurs have led on their last two visits here - but failed to pick up the victory. They were held to a 2-2 draw from 2-0 up back in May 2016 which ended their title hopes. And they were 1-0 up last season prior to Chelsea hitting back to win 2-1.

Pochettino: "There is still a lot of games to play, but always it's important for your confidence, motivation - to win at Chelsea would be fantastic but for sure it will be a very tough game. They are a very good team, great quality and always it's tough to compete with them."

More from Conte: "It is an important game. Our target is to reach the Champions League and then the final of the FA Cup. If we win we go close to Tottenham, if we don't then not so close with seven games. Nothing is impossible."

As you'd expect, many thinking of Ray Wilkins around Stamford Bridge this afternoon.

So, it's a 3-4-2-1 for Chelsea with just the one change from their last outing. Cesc Fabregas replaces Timoue Bakayoko with Alvaro Morata leading the attack. Spurs go with their favoured 4-2-3-1 as Mauricio Pochettino makes three expected changes from the side that eased past Swansea in the FA Cup. Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele and Dele Alli all start. Son leads the attack.
15.25
Two big pieces of team news from both camps. For Tottenham, Harry Kane is fit enough to start on the bench just three weeks after sustaining an injury to his ankle ligaments at Bournemouth. But it's contrasting news for Chelsea, as goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has failed to recover in time for this one. Willy Caballero continues between the sticks.
