Chelsea will look to arrest their downward turn in form, but will face a tricky test against Jose Mourinho's Tottenham in a London Derby clash on Sunday.

Preview: Spurs vs Chelsea

Tottenham now have firmly put much of their struggles behind them as they come into this match having won four of their last five league matches, and Jose Mourinho will be looking to get revenge on his former side Chelsea as they welcome the Blues, who have seemed out of sorts, on Sunday evening.

The odds do point in his favor, as Mourinho has won 12 and lost none of his last 13 home games in all competitions against sides he's previously managed. That includes beating Chelsea three times when managing Inter and Manchester United, and he'd relish the opportunity to do so once again, this time, with Tottenham as Spurs have ramped up their pursuit of a top-four berth.

By contrast, Chelsea have taken a turn for the worse as of late. The Blues have won just one of their last five league games after a solid patch of form, and Frank Lampard will be hoping to see his side turn things around in order to avoid slipping out of the top three. Shockingly, Sheffield United have somehow managed to suddenly creep up on the Blues after going on a kick, and although they are not expected to keep up the pace, the bigger concern for Chelsea will be teams like Manchester United, upcoming opponents Tottenham, and Arsenal - especially as the second half of the season hasn't started yet.
