Break out the popcorn and get cozy for this one. Chelsea and Tottenham have been electric so far this season, while there was more than a small spark between Frank Lampard and José Mourinho when these teams met in the League Cup in September. The Spurs could make a serious title statement following a win against Manchester City with another success at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Lampard’s team can overtake Mourinho if they hold firm at home. Édouard Mendy can play a huge role in the result, as his seven clean sheets in 10 games have transformed Lampard’s weak defense. Perhaps Mendy is the man who can finally stop Harry Kane and Son Heung-min’s relentless goal scoring machine. Graham Searles
