Four wins, one draw and two defeats have been posted by Chelsea across their first seven Premier League games as they climbed into the top four last week, following a win over Everton.

Only Brighton (23) and leaders Man City (19) have scored more Premier League goals this season than Chelsea (17), who will seek to knock the confidence of Tottenham, who found their first win against Coventry last weekend.

The Blues have lost just once in their last 16 Premier League London derbies at home, winning 11 and drawing four as Tottenham seek to break that duck.
