Chelsea will move fourth in the Premier League if they beat Tottenham at Stamford Bridge as both sides return to action following the international break on Thursday.
The Blues have won eight of the last 10 meetings between the teams and each of the last three, last losing at home to Spurs in 2018.
Tottenham are 10 points off the top half of the table but will usurp Manchester United in 13th if they win for the first time in four top-flight games.
