    Tottenham v Chelsea (20:00 GMT)

    When Mesut Ozil swept in a third goal for Arsenal before half-time of their convincing win against Chelsea back in September the men in blue looked a sorry side.

    They had lost their second game in a row, were eight points behind leaders Manchester City after just six games and were below Crystal Palace in the table.

    But in the 101 days since that defeat at the Emirates, Antonio Conte's side have been transformed.

    A switch to 3-4-3 has led to 13 wins in a row as Conte's men have gone five points clear at the top. With tonight's game in hand still to come.

    They have won 13 games with an aggregate score of 32-4. Win tonight and it's a new record for wins in a single season - 14 wins in a row.

    In their way stand a Tottenham side 10 points back from the leaders but still very much in contention. A win for Spurs sends them third.

    Should be a classic...
