Tottenham Hotspur Vs. Chelsea: Preview, TV Schedule And Other Useful Information!

So, today. A big day. Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea at White Hart Lane, and if either team wins...ugh. It's going to be bad. WOO WOO, here comes the hyperbole train, next stop is you. One of these teams will become legitimate title contenders with a win, while the loser will have their top four credentials questioned until they beat another big team.

Tottenham are definitely without Aaron Lennon. Ledley King and Gareth Bale both have about a 50-50 shot to play, though I wouldn't expect to see either of them start. Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe are both slight doubts, but it would be surprising if one of the two did not start and if both of them were not in the 18-man team. Chelsea are missing David Luiz due to a knee injury, but otherwise have a relatively clean bill of health. Their only long-term injury worry is Michael Essien. We are, of course, still without Tom Huddlestone and Michael Dawson.

We will have more specific content rolling out on this site between now and the game, this is just your basic info post. So, keep it here and refresh every 30 minutes or so. We'll post everything on facebook and twitter if you prefer to follow along that way.
