Can Spurs put an end to their abysmal Stamford Bridge record?

Chelsea face Tottenham Hotspur in the lunch time kick off, with the two London rivals rooted at opposite ends of the table.

The West Londoners top the Premier League after two straight wins, though in last week's narrow victory over Wigan, they did not look impregnable.

The protracted Berbatov saga has left Spurs in a state of limbo, which Middlesbrough and Sunderland both capitalised upon. Chelsea are [1.43] to follow suit, with the draw [4.7] and Tottenham [10.0].

Tottenham have an abysmal record in this fixture, having not won at Stamford Bridge since 1990. Chelsea can be backed at [2.1] to be winning half time/full time.

However, Spurs did draw the home fixture last season and won the final of the Carling Cup. In all, the three encounters averaged 4.33 goals per game and over 2.5 goals can be backed at [1.89].

Chelsea will be desperate to retain their lead over Manchester United and their fans will be even happier if they can achieve this by beating Tottenham.
