Tottenham will look to secure their Premier League safety on Tuesday night when they face rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Spurs are hovering above the Premier League relegation zone in 17th, but a win would be enough to secure survival.
Tottenham are two points clear of West Ham with a game in hand, with the Hammers having fallen to a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday.
Chelsea are also in desperate need of a victory after falling to 10th, with the Blues now six points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth.
Chelsea vs. Tottenham betting picks and predictions
Tie (+260)
Fans of Chelsea and Tottenham would never have predicted they would be in this position at the start of the season.
The two rivals have been competing for titles and European football in recent years, but the two teams are both in difficult spots.
For the second season in a row, Spurs are involved at the wrong end of the table, but they could remove themselves from the relegation equation here.
Their superior goal difference over West Ham means a draw would be good enough for them to secure safety and Tuesday's tie is likely to end level.
While Tottenham are unbeaten in their last four outings, they have won just one of their last 35 league games at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are winless at home since January, but like Tottenham, they have to get a result.
The Blues have appointed Xabi Alonso for next season, but the current squad will look to put on a show and ensure they have a chance of playing European football next season.
Tottenham will not want to give too much away in a game where a tie helps them practically guarantee safety and their recent performances suggest they will be able to dig in and secure a share of the spoils.
Both teams to score (-188)
Chelsea have lost their way in front of goal, but they still have plenty of quality within their squad. The likes of Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer will expect to create chances against a fragile Spurs defence.
Former Watford ace Joao Pedro has fired 97 shots at goal this season, with eight of those coming in his last four matches, while Enzo Fernandez has recorded 10 in four appearances.
Spurs have only kept one clean sheet in their last 15 games, which came against rock-bottom Wolves.
The Blues last kept a clean sheet in the Premier League in January and there's every chance these two teams trade blows for the full 90 minutes.
Richarlison over 0.5 shots on target (-138)
Tottenham striker Dominic Solanke is set to be sidelined on Tuesday, meaning former Everton striker Richarlison will lead the line for Spurs once again.
Richarlison works hard in the final third for Spurs and, while he has not always been a regular starter this season, he has still registered 32 shots on target, the most in Tottenham's squad.
With a lack of competition up front, Richarlison is likely to play the full 90 minutes, which only aids his chances of hitting the target at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian has hit the target in two consecutive games and on four occasions in as many outings. He should get plenty of chances against Chelsea's fragile defence and will look to shoot on sight in order to help Spurs secure a positive result.
