Tottenham line up as expected with England striker Harry Kane leading the line at White Hart Lane. They make on enforced change as Ryan Mason comes into midfield in place of the suspended Dele Alli.

Chelsea make three changes to the side that beat Norwich last time out as Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilizueta and Oscar come in for the injured John Terry, Kenedy and Diego Costa who is dropped despite scoring the winner against Norwich last weekend.  

Who will play as the 'false nine?' Could be Oscar, Pedro or Eden Hazard. Maybe Willian. Or none of the above...

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino says there "are no excuses" for his side today despite their long midweek Europa League trip.

"Tottenham look more impressive with every passing week, but this will be a real test of their top-four credentials against opponents they have rarely beaten in recent years.

"Last season's 5-3 win on New Year's Day is their only victory over Chelsea in the last dozen meetings between the clubs.

"Spurs have coped pretty well with the Thursday-Sunday schedule necessitated by the Europa League, but Qarabag was almost a 5,000-mile round trip.

"Chelsea, on the back of two league and cup wins without conceding, will have the advantage of two extra days rest, having played in Israel on Tuesday."

It could be that Pedro is going to start as a central striker for Chelsea today, having just listened to Jose Mourinho. A good option?

"When you're not in a purple patch it's all about being brave, putting yourself in position to score goals and Harry Kane did that at the start of the season. He's not frightened or embarrassed to miss and his team-mates rely on him and trust and he likes the pressure." 

Tottenham Hotspur

There is no Dele Alli in the Tottenham side. Moussa Dembele takes his place in midfield as Spurs make three changes from their Europa League side.

Chelsea

Chelsea do play Eden Hazard - but he starts up front. It looks like it anyway. There's no Diego Costa. Also in are Kurt Zouma and Branislav Ivanovic.

Ever had a tricky kick-off time?

"Manchester United missed the chance to go top of the Premier League after another colourless display from Louis van Gaal's side earned a point at Leicester City on Saturday.

"United remain in third place behind Manchester City and Leicester - but are they betraying recent Old Trafford traditions with their conservative approach, and can they seriously expect to mount a title challenge playing in this manner?

"In 14 Premier League games this season, they have scored 20 goals from 146 shots with 53 on target. Even in the misery of the David Moyes season in 2013-14, they had struck 22 times after the same number of games.

"In Sir Alex Ferguson's final title winning season in 2012-13, at this stage of the campaign they had scored 33 goals from 229 shots, with 84 on target."

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini is not worried despite Sergio Aguero limping out of their 3-1 victory against Southampton that sent them top of the table.

He left after 64 minutes of his third game back after a hamstring injury.

But Pellegrini said: "I spoke with Sergio before the game and he was not going to play more than 65 minutes. In the last play he received a kick in his heel. We will see tomorrow but I don't think it was anything important."

After that little rant, will Eden Hazard be in the Chelsea team this afternoon?

We shall find out in the next 20 minutes or so.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho doesn't fancy Eden Hazard as a central player behind the striker.

Hazard, who usually plays out wide, persuaded Mourinho to let him play in the middle in last week's win over Norwich.

"We have different concepts of number 10. Me and him," Mourinho said.

"I like a number 10 to score goals. I like a number 10 to get in the box. I like a number 10 to score Oscar goals against Maccabi.

"A number 10 for me is an eight and a half when the team loses the ball and a nine and a half when the team has the ball.

"For me a number 10 does a lot of things, with the ball and without the ball.

"So for me a number 10 is a very special player in my team, when I play with a number 10, which in Chelsea in the last period we are doing.

"In my first period here we played without a number 10. We played with two number eights. In a system of two midfield players and a number 10, I demand a lot from a number 10.

"Harry Kane. He gives more in terms of what he offers to the team and is in a brilliant vein of form now. He leads the line brilliantly, and leaves everything out on the pitch. Diego Costa doesn’t look happy at all. You don’t want to take the devil out of him but even watching him coming off at half time against Maccabi Tel-Aviv, he was giving it off to the bench."

If you are just waking up and missed the shenanigans overnight, Britain's Tyson Fury pulled off one of the great boxing upsets as he outpointed Wladimir Klitschko to become heavyweight champion of the world.

It was a dour and often messy fight but Fury, courtesy of his superior boxing skills, fully deserved to be awarded a unanimous decision.

Ukrainian Klitschko, whose nine-year reign as champion was brought to an end, simply could not work the challenger out and did not do enough to win.

Fury, who was awarded the fight 115-112, 115-112, 116-111 on the judges' scorecards, is now the WBA, IBF and WBO champion.

The 27-year-old Manchester fighter is only Britain's fifth bona fide heavyweight world champion after Bob Fitzsimmons, Lennox Lewis, Frank Bruno and David Haye.
