Chelsea may be ten points clear of Spurs at the top end of the Premier League table, but no one at White Hart Lane has quite given up on the prospect of winning the big prize they so nearly captured last season: the Premier League title.

The pain of defeat at Liverpool last time out was somewhat eased by the Blues’ surrendering of points at Burnley’s Turf Moor, but the Lilywhites cannot count on Antonio Conte’s men doing the same again, especially with home advantage in their clash with Swansea, so the north London club really need to get all three points when they host Stoke.

However, the omens are not great with Jonathan Moss in charge, who has overseen 18 matches this season, with 44.4% of those ending with the visiting team being victorious…

Interestingly, Moss has the second-highest away win percentage of the league’s refs, with his figure some way above the division’s average of 28.8%. As well as this, the official has handed out three red cards and 78 yellows, with 24.7 fouls awarded-per-game, which is, again, above the average of 23.1 - a worry given Stoke are known to be proficient from dead-ball situations.
