Good evening and welcome to our coverage of the Premier League match between Chelsea and Tottenham.

After Saturday’s substitution drama, Chelsea have a chance to change the news surrounding the club when they meet Tottenham Hotspurs.

The Blues’ improved display against Manchester City in the EFL Cup final was overshadowed by a substitution row between coach Maurizio Sarri and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalag.

Tottenham’s titles hopes were shattered by Burnley who defeated the North London side.

Harry Kane marked his return from injury with a goal on Saturday so today he will be in leading the attack and will hope to increase his goal tally.
