Tottenham v Chelsea: Premier League – live (The Guardian)

Minute-by-minute report: Graham Potter takes his struggling Blues across town. Join Rob Smyth for all the action.

[Chelsea](https://www.theguardian.com/football/chelsea) have a brilliant recent record against Spurs, with nine wins and three draws in the last 12 games. And you’ve got even longer odds on one of the teams being in tenth place.

On a less important note, has Graham Potter signed a contract with the devil?” We used to get a few pantomime death threats on the MBMs actually. [Tell us about the six changes] Well, it’s one change from the Dortmund game: Raheem’s coming in for Mudryk. He shuffles away from Thiago, nutmegs James and is about to shoot when the recovering Thiago pokes the ball behind for a corner. There was a bit of contact, but VAR decided – rightly I think – that it wasn’t a clear and obvious error. 7 min Fernandez, 40 yards from goal, clips a lovely, slightly angled pass over the top of the Spurs defence.
