What They're Saying
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho (via Sky Sports): "We are not playing for that [an unbeaten season]. If against Spurs we have a 0-0 with 20 minutes to go, we are not going to play for the 0-0 to be undefeated after 21 matches. No way. If you play for that, if that is one objective, maybe you draw so many matches. You don't take risks to try and win matches. You are happy just to be undefeated."
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino (via the Guardian): "We have played very well with one striker, with [Emmanuel] Adebayor against QPR and other games like Southampton. Always, it depends on the opponent you have or which is your best decision."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Roberto Soldado has seen a rise in form in 2014. In seven league appearances, the 29-year-old has one goal and an average of one key pass.
Chelsea's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Azpilicueta, Terry, Cahill, Ivanovic; Fabregas, Matic; Hazard, Oscar, Willian; Drogba
Tottenham's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Lloris; Davies, Vertonghen, Fazio, Naughton; Mason, Bentaleb; Eriksen, Kane, Lennon; Soldado
