​They may be unbeaten in Premier League London derbies since January, but Tottenham's record against other capital clubs currently in the top flight is disappointing.

Spurs are unbeaten in their last four encounters with London opposition (beating Arsenal and drawing with West Ham last season and beating Crystal Palace and drawing with the Gunners this campaign) since being defeated by Palace on January 10. That result came just nine days after they'd beaten Chelsea 5-3 on New Year's Day.

They will be hoping to make it five games in a row unbeaten on Sunday when West Ham visit White Hart Lane.

Most of Chelsea's dominance comes from their record over Tottenham. In 46 Premier League meetings the Blues have prevailed in 25, drawn 17 and lost just four.
