The Gunners need all three points as they attempt to haul in those above them and keep their vain hopes of a top four place alive. Meanwhile, the Potters are in equally dire need of a win with relegation now a real possibility for Paul Lambert's men as we head into the crucial run-in.

GOAL! Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham (Morata, 30)
That's really poor goalkeeping.
Hugo Lloris comes off his line to punch Victor Moses' cross clear but the Frenchman completely misses the ball, allowing Alvaro Morata to nod it into an empty net!
37' - Spurs haven't really shown a reaction to going a goal down. Chelsea are comfortable at the moment.
40' - Christian Eriksen produces a crisp strike from distance but the effort is straight at Willy Caballero, who makes a reasonably comfortable save.
42' - Marcos Alonso comes close to doubling Chelsea's lead but his effort from a tight angle is well kept out by Hugo Lloris' left hand.
GOAL! Chelsea 1-1 Spurs (Eriksen, 45+1)
That's absolutely magical from Christian Eriksen.
The Dane picks the ball up 30 yards from goal before sending a dipping shot into the top corner via the helpless Willy Caballero's crossbar.
Incredible strike.
Half-time - Chelsea 1-1 Spurs
The referee brings an end to the opening period and we're level at the break after goals from Alvaro Morata and Christian Eriksen.
51' - Not too much to report on from the early stages of this second half.
It will be interesting to see if Mauricio Pochettino turns to Harry Kane to try and win this game for Spurs as we approach the hour mark.
