Chelsea play host to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Wednesday evening looking to boost their chances of finishing in the top four of the standings.

Maurizio Sarri has come under frequent criticism in recent weeks with the Blues suffering a number of defeats, and his side cannot afford another setback at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea head into this fixture having lost out to Manchester City in the EFL Cup final, with Pep Guardiola's team prevailing in a penalty shootout.

Ahead of this week's meeting, Sports Mole assesses how Eden Hazard has fared in his previous games against Spurs.

Hazard has a solid record against his club's London rivals, with seven wins and four draws coming from 16 matches in all competitions.

However, the Belgium international tends to find goals difficult to come by, with just four strikes being registered in 12 appearances in the Premier League.

The last of those came towards the end of the 2015-16 campaign, and it was a notable one with the effort confirming Leicester City as top-flight champions.

However, the Blues' star man is without a league goal against Spurs in over 350 minutes of football, although the attacker did net in the EFL Cup last month.

Hazard has only provided three assists in this fixture.
