Chelsea against Tottenham Hotspur has been an ever-present fixture in the Premier League and ahead of the next instalment, we take a pictorial look back at some memorable Stamford Bridge clashes.
The Blues have lost at home to Tottenham on just one occasion since 1992, and they are the opponents we have scored the most goals against in Premier League history.
On Saturday we will be aiming to beat Spurs for a seventh consecutive time in the league, which would be a new club record, and to whet the appetite we have dug into the archives and picked out a collection of images from previous meetings with our rivals in SW6 that caught our eye.
We start all the way back in the Premier League's inaugural season...
Tony Cascarino equalises for Chelsea in the first Premier League meeting between the sides at Stamford Bridge in March 1993.
Captain Dennis Wise enjoyed his fair share of games against Tottenham and is pictured here in February 1995.
It was an emotional day when Spurs came to Stamford Bridge in October 1996, just days after the death of influential and much-loved director Matthew Harding. After the heartfelt tributes before kick-off, Ruud Gullit, David Lee and Roberto Di Matteo did him proud by firing us to a 3-1 derby win.
George Graham's Spurs almost held on at the Bridge in December 1998, but two strikes in the final 10 minutes from Gustavo Poyet and Tore Andre Flo secured the three points.
The legendary George Weah made quite the impact when he joined Chelsea on loan in the January 2000 transfer window. Coming off the bench to make his debut against Tottenham, the Ballon d'Or-winning striker headed in the only goal of the game with three minutes remaining.
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink had a habit of finding the net in derbies and opened the scoring from the penalty spot in a 3-0 home win in 2000.
Hasselbaink completed a hat-trick in our biggest Premier League win over Spurs in March 2002. Incredibly it was our second 4-0 victory over Tottenham that week, having also beaten them by that scoreline at White Hart Lane in the FA Cup sixth round three days earlier.
Frank Lampard gets the equaliser at the Bridge in 2003 when we recovered from conceding first to triumph 4-2.
On the day Chelsea mourned the loss of legendary striker Peter Osgood it was a defender who took the headlines on the pitch. William Gallas, who would later go on to represent Spurs, netted an injury-time winner to spark wild celebrations at the Bridge in March 2006.
For all his undeniable class on and off the ball, centre-back Ricardo Carvalho didn't get in the goals too often. His was the only name on the score sheet when we beat Tottenham at the Bridge in April 2007 though.
What a hit! Few derby goals are as good as the one Brazilian full-back Juliano Belleti fired in at the Bridge in January 2008. His rocket gave us a deserved lead, before Shaun Wright-Phillips added another in a 2-0 win.
Due to his history with Arsenal, Ashley Cole was always public enemy number one for Tottenham fans on derby day. He silenced them in the best way possible by netting the opening goal at the Bridge in September 2009, with Didier Drogba and Michael Ballack adding their own to a 3-0 victory, and producing identical celebrations to match.
Tottenham goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes tries, and fails, to prevent Frank Lampard's equaliser crossing the line in April 2011. That set up a dramatic finale, when Salomon Kalou completed the comeback with an 89th-minute winner.
Samuel Eto'o gave us the opening goal and an iconic celebration in March 2014, when he made light of head coach Jose Mourinho's pre-match comments about the striker's age. Eden Hazard would add to our lead from the penalty spot before a late Demba Ba brace meant we equalled our best-ever Premier League result against Spurs of 4-0.
It was Didier Drogba who rolled back the years to find the net against Tottenham once again the following season, after returning for a second spell with the Blues. It wasn't quite as big a win as the previous campaign, but with Eden Hazard and Loic Remy both joining him on the score sheet, 3-0 still made it a happy day in west London.
Eden Hazard broke north London hearts in May 2016 by coming off the bench to net a late equaliser in what became know as the Battle of the Bridge. His strike into the top corner, following Gary Cahill's earlier goal, completed the comeback from two down to draw 2-2, a result which officially ended Tottenham's title challenge and handed the trophy to Claudio Ranieri's Leicester City.
Almost exactly 10 years ago, it was Pedro's moment of brilliance which sparked the Chelsea comeback. The Spaniard's swivel and curling shot was worthy of winning any game, even if it was only the equaliser on this occasion. Pedro was heavily involved again, though, as he combined with Eden Hazard and Diego Costa to set up Victor Moses to finish things off with the winning goal.
Pedro was at it again in February 2019, opening the scoring after half-time, before a late Kieran Trippier own goal ensured all three points would be staying in west London.
It was another Spaniard, Marcos Alonso, who got the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory in February 2020, in what would be the last derby atmosphere experienced at the Bridge for some time.
With the fans back in the stands following Covid by the time Spurs came to the Bridge in January 2022, it was Hakim Ziyech and Thiago Silva's goals which sent the Blues supporters home happy, while piling misery on Spurs after we had beaten them in the League Cup semi-finals earlier that month.
Homegrown defender Trevoh Chalobah was the one to head us into the lead against Spurs in May 2024, Nicolas Jackson getting the second in our 2-0 win.
Tottenham's 2025 visit Premier League visit to the Bridge came in April, when Enzo Fernandez's header proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Spurs were the visitors for Chelsea's last home game of 2025/26, when Enzo Fernandez and Andrey Santos' goals gave us a 2-1 win.
