TOTTENHAM VS CHELSEA PREVIEW, POSSIBLE LINEUPS AND PREDICTION

Tottenham Hotspur will host Chelsea at White Hart Lane this weekend in their third home game of the season.

Spurs are level points with Arsenal at the top of the table only behind on goal difference. Where as Chelsea stand fourth behind Manchester City.

What a match we have in our hands! Matches involving these two sides attract a lot of media attention. The players  and their supporters are usually not left out in the rivalry. However, this weekend's match has a twist to it. Andre Villas-Boas and Jose Mourinho  will be meeting for the first time since the duo parted ways since their days in Inter Milan in 2010.

 The handshake definitely will be very cold when these two file out of the dugout. Cameramen will no doubt will fall over themselves in order to capture that handshake.
