Chelsea will look to close the gap on Tottenham Hotspur this weekend in the pick of the Premier League fixtures, as the race for a top-four finish heats up.

The Blues head into the match sitting five points behind their fifth-placed opponents and in need of some inspiration if they are to compete in the Champions League next season.

One man who can provide exactly that is a certain Eden Hazard who, despite an inconsistent 2017-18 for the defending champions, still boasts impressive figures in terms of goals and assists.

Here, Sports Mole looks at how Hazard has fared in his previous meetings with Tottenham.

The Belgium international has netted on five previous occasions in this fixture, most famously in the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge at the tail end of the 2015-16 campaign that ended the Lilywhites' title hopes in the most dramatic fashion.

There was also a powerful finish past Hugo Lloris in last season's FA Cup semi-final clash at Wembley Stadium to put his side 3-2 ahead, making up for his two blanks in the league fixtures.

Three of the 27-year-old's four top-flight goals against Spurs have come on home soil, with the exception being his strike in the memorable 5-3 loss at White Hart Lane on New Year's Day three years ago.

Hazard has also chipped in with a few assists in his 12 previous meetings with Tottenham, although two of those came in his first taste of this fixture at the start of the 2012-13 campaign, as the Blues ran out 4-2 winners in North London.
