    Spurs will be furious at that late turn of events and Chelsea's equaliser. They have controlled almost the entire half.

    It was a brilliant finish from Pedro and the mood inside Stamford Bridge is transformed in that moment.

    Spurs are totally in charge of this game - they are not giving the home side a second on the ball and are hugely impressive in possession.

    Chelsea's fans are almost silent - with good reason.

    Chelsea manager Antonio Conte had been like a man standing barefoot on red hot coals in the minutes before Spurs took the lead.

    The Italian was jumping up and and gesturing frantically to his players to start putting Spurs under pressure. The need is even more pressing now.

    Diego Costa has already taken a couple of heavy knocks and is complaining to referee Michael Oliver.

    Spurs arrive at Stamford Bridge with the last unbeaten league record - but run into a Chelsea side on a red hot run of form after five straight Premier League wins without conceding a goal.

    Chelsea can return to the top with a win while Spurs need to ease the pain of Champions League elimination after defeat in Monaco.

    There might be an extra bit of spice because it was here last season, amid some fairly tasty scenes, that Spurs' title bid was ended with a 2-2 draw.

    Tottenham make three changes to the side that lost at Monaco in the Champions League on Tuesday. 

    Spurs have to remodel their defence because of Danny Rose's suspension and Jan Vertonghen comes in at left-back, with Kyle Walker returning at right-back. 

    Eric Dier and Kevin Wimmer pair up again in the middle. In midfield, Christian Eriksen comes in for Harry Winks, who drops to the bench.

    Tottenham XI: Lloris, Walker, Dier, Vertonghen, Wimmer, Wanyama, Dembele, Eriksen, Alli, Son, Kane.

  13. Cech: I don't like the goal, it's too bigpublished at 11:39 Greenwich Mean Time 25 November 2016

    For snooker players it's their cues, a tennis player it's the racket and a golfer would be lost without their clubs... Athletes whose success is often shaped by their equipment and their ability to feel at one with them, but for goalkeepers it is the opposite... for Arsenal's Petr Cech his posts are "too big" and "let the goals in", while Chelsea's Asmir Begovic gives them "as much love as possible" in the hope they'll jinx the strikers.

    Both Goalkeepers opened up to Caroline Barker about their relationship with the goal and the unspoken bond that unites all shot stoppers at an evening dedicated to the Asmir Begovic Foundation.

    This is wide open now - and Edinson Cavani is once again a mixed bag. He scores a poacher's goal then tries a Hollywood finish with a chip that Ospina saves.

    Cavani gets so many chances. Luckily for Arsenal he has been hit and miss tonight,

    PSG's side has a look of containment about it but they have suffered the considerable blow of losing Angel di Maria to injury and they are also without the influential Javier Pastore, who is unfit.

    The strangest setback of all came yesterday when full-back Serge Aurier was stopped from entering the United Kingdom .
