Three men who can have a huge say in Tottenham v Chelsea

London rivals meet on Saturday night

The Premier League roars back into life this weekend, with the headline fixture coming from Wembley as Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea.

It’s a fixture which has become one of the most thrilling yet fiercely contested battles in recent times. Top-four spots and title challenges have been on the line.

There should be more of the same this Saturday night. The consensus is that Spurs haven’t played well this season, while Chelsea thrived under Maurizio Sarri, yet just one point separates the two teams.

Our traders can barely split the teams in the betting. Spurs are 33/20, with Chelsea 31/20. It could come down to a moment of individual brilliance. Here are three men who could conjure it…

Eden Hazard

An injury niggle has somewhat stemmed his scintillating start to the season, but Eden Hazard remains Chelsea’s finest forward.

The Belgian has hit new heights under Sarri this season, and few players on the planet are as dangerous when running with the ball at pace. It doesn’t matter which side or foot he’s on either, Hazard can score with either boot at will.

Can the Tottenham defenders handle it? They’ve allowed Hazard to score against them five times in the past.

Christian Eriksen

Tottenham’s midfield maestro has been eased back into action after injury, but he should be fully fit by the weekend.
