Bet of the day: Tottenham 18/5 for Chelsea win and both to score

Should punters need reminding, Tottenham toyed with Jose Mourinho’s boys at fortress White Hart Lane last season, when the Blues were at their best, emerging as 5-3 winners.

Hitman and homegrown hero Harry Kane starred in that mauling, bagging a brace, and his stats should concern the Stamford Bridge side ahead of this clash, as the England net threat has notched nine in his last six across all competitions.

Bad start a bitter pill for Blues to swallow

Goal hero Kane’s dangerous form will be daunting for a Premier League rearguard that has leaked 23 goals so far, one more than rock-bottom Aston Villa.

Chelsea have shocking won only four league fixtures, in a dismal defence of their title, with only one of those occurring on the road, a stat that does not bode well for this trip to White Hart Lane.

Though, Chelsea should have a chance of grabbing a goal against a Spurs side which has kept one clean sheet from the last seven in all competitions. With Diego Costa, Oscar and Willian in the ranks, there is potential to pierce the Spurs backline, but likely not enough in the tank for a triumph.
