Preview
Midfield powerhouse Ruben Loftus-Cheek should be a key figure for the Blues. The towering and beefy 19-year-old has the strength, drive and skill to boss a game when he's at his best.
Senior gaffer Jose Mourinho has already touted the teenage ace in the middle for big things, per TalkSport.co.uk: "I had Ruben Loftus-Cheek on the bench and I have to say that, in my opinion, next year, this kid will be a big surprise in the Premier League."
Yet like so many young players trying to make the grade, Loftus-Cheek needs to prove his consistency. He must show he can dictate games more often.
If he does, Loftus-Cheek will supply chances for pacy wide forward Isaiah Brown. The fleet-footed 18-year-old has the skills to stretch the Spurs defence.
Perhaps the most intriguing player to watch will be 18-year-old midfield schemer Charly Musonda Jr. The Belgian teenager has got a tremendous passing range for one so young.
Spurs have fallen away, despite sitting in second place just a few weeks ago. However, the north London side still have some precocious talent in the ranks.
In particular, midfield playmaker Kenny McEvoy is an obvious danger man. The 20-year-old has a real talent for timing late runs into the box.
Meanwhile, teenage centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers will attempt to keep things solid at the back. The 17-year-old has already impressed many within the club and even earned a two-year contract, back in December.
But Chelsea's pace in attack will provide a stern test of the USA youth international's credentials and talent.
Spurs won when the two teams last met, back in December. The winner came courtesy of an Emmanuel Sonupe 11th-hour goal, per MailOnline writer Nicholas Godden.
Tottenham need a repeat performance to revive a suddenly flagging season. Meanwhile, Chelsea will be keen to strike a fatal blow.
The Blues still have two games in hand on Spurs and most of the front-runners in the Division 1 table, per PremierLeague.com. A win would be a huge boost to a late push for the top.
