Follow live coverage as Tottenham Hotspur face Chelsea today in the Premier League. Another top-flight season will be covered in full right here with The Independent, as reigning champions Liverpool look to fend off competition from Arsenal, Manchester City and more.
The race for the Champions League places should also be a compelling battle, with a fifth place possible for English teams. Manchester United’s latest rebuild under Ruben Amorim sets expectations high once more after a dismal season last time out.
Meanwhile, it’s Burnley, Leeds United and Sunderland who made it back to the elite after promotion last year and each will have hope they can make it more than a one-year stay. Follow the latest live action from the Premier League below:
Tottenham Hotspur FC 0 - 0 Chelsea FC
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:57
Only Arsenal (seven) and Chelsea, with six, have scored more Premier League goals from corners this season than Tottenham's five, and in the last two seasons, only their north London rivals (21) have more than Spurs' 15.

17:56
Porro's initial delivery from the set-piece is headed clear at the near post, but his second effort is right on the money and Chalobah sends a glancing header behind for another Spurs corner.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:54
Gusto beats Spence in a foot-race down the touchline but then overcooks his pass back to Sanchez, firing the ball beyond the Chelsea goalkeeper and out for a Tottenham corner!

17:54
SAVED!!! Garnacho combines with Fernandez down the left flank before cutting inside to fire goalwards on his right foot, but the winger's low strike is hit straight into Vicario's gloves!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:53
OVER!!! The game's first real attempt on goal is one to forget for James, who finds space from 30 yards out but can only send a wild strike high and wide of the target!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:50
Simons sets off on a driving run into the box and is dispossessed before Palhinha slides in to keep possession ticking for Spurs. His challenge tees Spence up for a first-time cross towards Kolo Muani, but it's volleyed clear by Chalobah.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:49
Plenty of pushing and shoving precedes Chelsea's latest corner after Garnacho's cutback is put behind by Danso, but Vicario dives off his goal-line and gets a good enough hand on the ball to push it clear of the danger.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:47
Spurs forward Kolo Muani is making his first home start in the Premier League – the last Tottenham player to score in his first league start at home was Steven Bergwijn against Manchester City in February 2020, but Kolo Muani has had just two touches of any description so far in this match.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:43
With Bergvall unable to continue, Simons comes on from the bench after his surprise axing by Frank, and enters the action within just seven minutes.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:44
Chelsea's latest corner is swung in by Neto at the second time of asking and the loose ball sits up kindly for Cucurella, but Sarr is there and gets in the way of his shot.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:42
Fernandez kicks the game off for Chelsea, and this highly-anticipated inter-city derby is under way in north London!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:43
Spence cuts across the field from left-back and looks to play Kudus into space down the right, but his pass is cut out and Chelsea win a free-kick when Joao Pedro is clipped late by Danso on halfway.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:42
Chelsea’s last-ditch defeat by Sunderland last weekend has forced Maresca’s hand, and the Italian also makes two changes, with Fofana and Gusto in for Acheampong and Guiu. The latter duo are on the bench, as are Santos, Gittens and Estevao after each scoring in the Blues’ 4-3 win at Wolves in the EFL Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:41
Frank makes changes from the Tottenham side which swept aside Everton last time out, with Bergvall and Sarr – who scored their final goal against the Toffees – both coming into the XI. Simons and Johnson both underperformed at Newcastle in midweek, and they drop to the bench as a result.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:40
TOTTENHAM (4-2-3-1): Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence; Joao Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur; Mohammed Kudus, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Bergvall; Randal Kolo Muani.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:40
Chelsea’s charge up the table has stuttered in recent weeks, with three defeats from their last five games including an injury-time loss at home to Sunderland last time out. Enzo Maresca’s side, therefore, sit ninth coming into this match with just four wins from nine, albeit the first two of those came in London derby victories over West Ham and Fulham.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:40
Chelsea deliver the game's first corner after James' first-time cross is nodded behind by Sarr, but Neto's delivery is claimed by Vicario, with Fofana and Bentancur rugby-tackling one another in the goalmouth behind him!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:38
Bergvall is taken off for further concussion checks despite his protestations, leaving Tottenham down to 10 men for the time being as Chelsea get the game restarted.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:37
Bergvall has pulled up after moving gingerly following an accidental ball to the head from Fernandez, and the Tottenham midfielder may need to be withdrawn for further assessment in the opening moments of this contest.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:35
Spurs have won just one of their last 13 Premier League games against Chelsea, losing 10 including the last four in a row since their 2-0 home win back in February 2023.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:32
CHELSEA (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez; Malo Gusto, Wesley Fofana, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella; Reece James, Moises Caicedo; Pedro Neto, Enzo Fernandez, Alejandro Garnacho; Joao Pedro.

Despite being separated by six places in the fledgling Premier League table, Chelsea are just three points behind Tottenham ahead of kick-off, and our live probability tracker is backing the Blues to close that gap. The visitors are given a 38.9% chance of victory, but Spurs aren’t far behind on 35.1% and will hope home advantage pays dividends, as the two sides head out onto the pitch!
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:16
CHELSEA SUBS: Filip Jorgensen, Tosin Adarabioyo, Jamie Gittens, Andrey Santos, Jorrel Hato, Josh Acheampong, Marc Guiu, Estevao, Romeo Lavia.

TOTTENHAM SUBS: Antonin Kinsky, Xavi Simons, Richarlison, Mathys Tel, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Brennan Johnson, Wilson Odobert, Dane Scarlett.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea
17:06
Third-placed Spurs come into this game off the back of a disappointing 2-0 defeat at Newcastle in the EFL Cup fourth round, albeit their last Premier League clash resulted in a 3-0 win at Everton. Thomas Frank’s Tottenham will move up to second in the table with a victory here, although they’re winless in their last three home games, losing to Bournemouth and Aston Villa either side of a draw with bottom side Wolves.
