a crucial encounter for Spurs in their fight for survival, given how tight things are at the bottom of the table.<\/p>\n<p>Had Tottenham beaten Leeds, a defeat at Stamford Bridge could perhaps have been absorbed, but now, should Spurs lose and West Ham beat Newcastle United, De Zerbi\u2019s side could find themselves in the bottom three heading into the final game of the season, one point behind the Hammers.<\/p>\n<p>With everything on the line, Tottenham\u2019s record at Stamford Bridge does not inspire much confidence ahead of next week\u2019s encounter. <\/p>\n<p>The two sides have met 33 times at Chelsea\u2019s home ground in the Premier League, and it is the Blues who have dominated the fixture, winning 21 matches, drawing 11 and losing just once. <\/p>\n<p>That sole Tottenham victory came back in 2018, eight years ago, and De Zerbi will hope his side can replicate that result in their push for survival.<\/p>\n<figure
