Tottenham
A huge victory over fifth place Aston Villa last Sunday was just what Harry Redknapp and Spurs needed as they play host to an in form Chelsea side at White Hart Lane in which Tottenham haven’t lost at home for six games. It was the Spurs defence that received a great deal of Redknapp’s praise after the victory over Villa, with the former Portsmouth manager claiming that his central defensive pairing of Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King is amongst the best partnerships in the Premier League. If Tottenham are to overcome Chelsea in this London derby they will need the back four – particularly Woodgate and King – to be at the top of their game.

Chelsea
Chelsea have won their fourth consecutive league game under Guus Hiddink’s golden hand. A win this Saturday over Spurs would be Chelsea’s third away win in a row. Moreover, Chelsea have lost just twice away from home all season but Spurs did knick a point at Stamford Bridge so anything is possible.

Team News
Ledley King has been struggling all season with a knee problem, but he could be set to make his third consecutive start. Alan Hutton could feature in the squad, while Jermain Defoe continues to miss out through injury. Vedran Corluka may return to the starting line-up. In fact, Redknapp has been able to field almost full-strength sides of late, meaning the same eleven that beat Villa could face the Blues.

Chelsea are still missing Joe Cole and Paulo Ferreira with long-term injuries and have now had to add Deco to that list after the Portugal international damaged his hamstring last weekend. But the return of Michael Essien could not have come at a better time. Didier Drogba was said to be struggling to be available for the game, but reports suggest the Ivorian will be able to take part in the game.

My prediction: TOTTENHAM +3/4
