Chelsea v Tottenham: Pick of the stats

Here is a selection of the key facts and figures before Chelsea host Tottenham in the Premier League on Thursday (19:30 BST kick-off).

• Chelsea have lost just one of their past 33 home league games against Tottenham, going down 3-1 in April 2018 when Spurs were managed by Mauricio Pochettino.

• Chelsea have done the Premier League double nine times against Tottenham, only doing so more against Manchester City (10). Meanwhile, Spurs have only lost twice in the same season more often against Manchester United (10) than they have against the Blues.

• Tottenham have lost two of their past three league away games, as many as they had in their previous 14. They have failed to score in both defeats, having only failed to score in two of their previous 34 away league matches.

• Spurs have lost 4-0 to Newcastle United and 3-2 to Arsenal in their past two Premier League games. They have not lost three in a row since November 2023, while they have not done so while conceding three or more goals each time since September 2021 – with both runs including defeat by Chelsea.

• Pochettino could become the first manager to complete a Premier League double over Spurs having previously managed them in the competition.

• Chelsea's Cole Palmer has scored a hat-trick in his past two home league games, netting three against Manchester United and four against Everton. The only player to score three or more goals in three consecutive home matches in the competition is Erling Haaland last season.
