Eden Hazard looking to run in behind the Tottenham defence and stretch the play in that central role. Jose Mourinho has been critical of the dropped Diego Costa for not doing just that. Chelsea can't find the Belgian though as again Cesc Fabregas finds a white shirt.

Asmir Begovic took a clunk to the head but he's OK to carry on. The corner is poor and Chelsea clear, but that opening exchange was an indication in the difference in intensity between the sides. Chelsea have to play smarter, harder and faster.

Cesc Fabregas plays a lazy pass to Nemanja Matic and Moussa Dembele is onto it in a flash. More hunger and speed in the Spurs midfield.

Tottenham then switch it to the left, Danny Rose flashes in a low cross and Harry Kane is close to turning it in, Asmir Begovic making a block at the near post and taking a whack in the process!

Eden Hazard has started as the main central attacker for Chelsea. Let's see how that develops. 

Under way!

Harry Kane's name gets the biggest cheer as the sides are introduced to a sell-out crowd. The TV cameras are all focussed on Eden Hazard, who hasn't scored in 16 Premier League games. Best player in the league last year?

Players in the tunnel at White Hart Lane, Branislav Ivanovic leading Chelsea out today. Can Chelsea get back on track? Are Tottenham title challengers? We may know more in the next few hours...

There's one Scottish Premier League game this afternoon and it comes in snowy and cold conditions in the highlands.

Follow that game here.

White Hart Lane filling up fast now,a  few optimistic Chelsea fans in just short sleeves. Think it's ab it chilly for that...

"One of the biggest highs I've had in football," was how Eddie Howe described Bournemouth's 3-3 draw with Everton. What a game!

Ross Barkley scored the latest goal of the Premier League season when he made it 3-2 to Everton after 95 minutes but Junior Stanislas broke that record three minutes later.

"It's unbelievable how football can play with your emotions," Howe said. 

"To score in the manner we did at the end was one of the biggest highs I've had in football. An incredible day, though this game is no good for your health. I'll be having an early night tonight."

Toby Carvery: Hazard starting up front? That could really work with someone as pacy and dangerous as himself.

Samii: Jose Mourinho just Dropped Costa For a Match that could turn our season around.. Talk about making a statement

Jonny Duch: If I was Remy, I would be furious. Quality striker.

Is it interesting that Jose Mourinho says things are not good with Diego Costa's confidence a few minutes after he drops him? He scored the winner last week?

Or was Costa well overdue a benching?

Chelsea

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho on BT Sport: "I am not bluffing. Tottenham are title contenders, I really think that. They are a really good side.

"For us every game, every point is important. We know what position we are in, we know we will leave that position but we need points. Every match, we try to win.

"It is the first time Diego Costa is on the bench when fit. It is normal, he is playing every match and things are not going really well for his confidence. Pedro is a dangerous player."

Former Netherlands midfielder Clarence Seedorf gave a lengthy interview to BBC Sport this week, in which he was asked about Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho.

"I can just imagine the frustration within Chelsea, especially from the coach. Practically the same team won the Premier League title last season.

"When I have played in successful teams that experienced a loss of form like that, a lot of the time nobody could really say why. It could be the same at Chelsea, but the only way to get out of a crisis is if everyone sticks together.

"The risk is that you focus too much on the reason why things are not going well and finding somebody to blame. The focus should be on the quality of the team and remembering what their capabilities are.

"It is great that Jose Mourinho is still there on the bench because the most important thing for the players is to keep on believing in his philosophy that brought them success last year, and so much other success in the past."
