It's an FA Cup semi-final London derby between the two top teams in the Premier League, as Chelsea take on Spurs. Opta presents the tale of the tape.

"Tottenham players have scored a hat-trick in each of the last two rounds (Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min)."

Kane is 2.89/5 to add to his tally.

The Blues have only lost one of their last five FA Cup semi-final ties, but it was in their last such appearance in 2013 (vs Manchester City). Spurs are 2.8615/8 to win within 90 minutes.

Tottenham have lost each of their last six FA Cup semi-final appearances (1993, 1995, 1999, 2001, 2010 and 2012). Chelsea are 2.789/5 to win within normal time.

Should they lose this, they'll set a record for consecutive FA Cup semi-final defeats (Chelsea also six between 1920 and 1966). Chelsea are 1.865/6 in the To Qualify market.

The last time these sides met in the competition was in the 2012 semi-final, with Chelsea running out 5-1 winners en route to lifting the trophy. Chelsea are 5.14/1 to win half-time/full-time.

In all competitions, Spurs have won just two of their last 16 meetings with Chelsea (D7 L7). The draw is 3.412/5.

Since beating Chelsea in the League Cup final in 2008, Tottenham have won just one of their eight games at Wembley (D2 L5), beating CSKA Moscow in a Champions League group stage game in December. Chelsea are 1.9620/21 in the Draw No Bet market.

Son Heung-Min has been involved in more goals than any other player in this season's FA Cup (6 goals, 1 assist). Son is 4.216/5 to find the net.

Pedro has scored four goals and assisted a further two in his three FA Cup appearances for Chelsea this season. He is 5.04/1 to score.

Tottenham players have scored a hat-trick in each of the last two rounds (Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min). Kane is 2.89/5 to add to his tally.

Tottenham have won their last eight games in all competitions - they've only enjoyed a longer such run once in their history (13 games, April-October 1960). Spurs are 2.01/1 in the Draw No Bet market.
