We should like to thank all our supporters for their patience and understanding as we implemented increased security procedures at stadium entry points at last Sunday’s fixture with West Ham United.

The co-operation and good humour of those who heeded the advice to arrive early to clear security was appreciated by all at the Club. Those supporters who arrived close to kick off experienced extended queues due to these additional checks with some unfortunately missing the start of the game as a result. Security WILL NOT be reduced or compromised in the event of queues forming to clear security and kick off will not be delayed as a result of this.

We should therefore like to remind fans once again that it is important to plan their journey for an earlier than normal arrival time.

In preparation for this Sunday’s fixture with Chelsea, there will be similar procedures in place. As our fixture is an early kick off at midday, to ensure you reach your seat before the action commences, we strongly advise that you arrive no later than 11am to clear security.

We also ask that you assist in the following ways:

• Please ensure all coats and jackets are open and ready to be searched
• Avoid bringing any bags with you to the stadium unless absolutely necessary. ALL bags will be searched. Please note there are no “left luggage” facilities at the stadium
• If you are experiencing extended queuing, please be patient. Our staff are doing everything possible to get you into the stadium safely and as quickly as possible.
• Be extra vigilant and alert staff or police to anything unusual

The stadium will be open 30 minutes earlier than usual at 10am to allow additional time to enter the stadium.

Supporters arriving early on Sunday will have the opportunity to meet a quartet of Spurs legends.

Mark Falco, Micky Hazard, David Howells and Graham Roberts will be in the concourses around the stadium between 10am-11am where fans will have autograph and photograph opportunities.

Looking for to this one.

May the best team win ... Us of course.

Tough game, could well end up a draw. If we take our chances we'll be in good shape though, I think. I think Moany will be patient and try and absorb pressure and then hit us on the break at pace.

Will be a very interesting game.

First goal will be massive. If we get it they could really crumble. If they get it they'll get a boost and I'm sure we'll tire as the games wears on.

I could honestly see this being a 0-0.

Hope we smash them and a win would be massive for us but I do think we'll tire in the second half.

They scored first last year........

TEAM NEWS for Chelsea: @Coco_Lamela back in contention. @Dele_Alli suspended. @NChadli, @nabilbentaleb42 & @pritch_93 remain out. #COYS

 

[Mr Pink]

Lamela must start then.

I actually think Poch will play Dier and Dembele in the middle with Lamela, Eriksen and Son behind Kane.

 

[ClintEastwould]

Lamela's fit

Let's smash these knuckle draggers

Can someone tell me why this is being played at midday? I can't remember the last time a Sunday game kicked off at 12.

Tv / crowd trouble

Before the season BT Sport get a pick of any game every weekend and they chose this match, in normal circumstances this would be played on Saturday at 12:45 but because we played on Thursday it got moved to Sunday, and 12:00 is the only time slot as there are 2 matches being played on Sky later on tomorrow.

Basically BT and Sky have fucked us, this should have been played on MNF but as its BT's pick we have to play when they schedule us to play

 

[Hazelton]

Get through this game without any nasty surprises and we can achieve anything this season. A win would be perfect, but a draw wouldn't be the end of the world.

I think Mason will start in front of Lamela Personally

Cannot give Willian any FK chances, read this week that he has scored 6 FKs from 12 attempts this season, pretty impressive

[dirtyh]

Kane will score so just got to keep them out

 

[allpaths]

This game has got me shacking already, it's so much bigger than just us vs Chelsea. The only thing holder me together is watching the 5-3 highlights over and over again.

 

[Hot Spur]

I expect Arsenal to win tomorrow so if we win we stay 5th but there would only be 2 points separating the top 5 with ManC, Leicester and Arsenal all on 29 points, ManU on 28 and spurs on 27. Never seen the top as close as that.
