Tottenham have won just one of their last 13 Premier League meetings with Chelsea (W1 D7 L5); 5-3 on New Year’s Day 2015.

Chelsea have won more Premier League games (26) and scored more Premier League goals (92) against Spurs than they have against any other opponent.

Harry Kane has scored 17 goals in his last 17 Premier League London derbies, including netting 10 in his last nine played at White Hart Lane.

In fact, of players to have played more than one London derby in the Premier League, Kane has the best goals per game ratio (0.78 – 18 goals in 23 derby apps).

The Blues have not won at White Hart Lane since a 4-2 victory in October 2012 (D2 L1 since).

This will be the first fixture to be played 50 times in the Premier League.

This will be Mauricio Pochettino’s 150th Premier League games as a manager.

Spurs have won four consecutive Premier League home games for the first time since August 2014 (five wins).

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are unbeaten at White Hart Lane this season (W7 D2); their longest unbeaten start to a PL season at home since 2000/01 (13 games).

The Blues have won six successive Premier League away games; they last embarked upon a longer winning run in September 2009 (seven games).

Antonio Conte has the best away Premier League win percentage of any Chelsea manager (77.8%).

If Chelsea win this match, they will equal both the Premier League and English top-flight record for successive wins (Arsenal – 14 wins between February 2002 and August 2002).

The only occasion of a side winning more points from their first 19 games in a Premier League season than Chelsea this season (49) is Chelsea in 2005-06 (52).
