Tottenham vs. Chelsea: Team News, Preview, Live Stream and TV Info
- Updated: January 3, 2017
Antonio Conte’s Chelsea juggernaut will face another significant test on Wednesday, as they head to the home of rivals Tottenham Hotspur looking for a remarkable 14th win in succession.
The Blues have surged to the top of the Premier League table after taking 39 points from a possible 39, with their most recent victory, a 4-2 triumph over Stoke City, containing the attacking flair, determination and ruthlessness that champions so often exhibit.
