Tottenham haven't enjoyed the best of fortunes in recent times when compared with their London rivals Chelsea.
Since 2019, the north London side have slid from being Champions League finalists and regulars in the competition to scrapping for qualification into UEFA's new tertiary tournament, the Europa Conference League.
The Blues meanwhile in that same period have broken back into the top four as the teams prepare to meet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday, and head into the derby as European champions.
Even in matches between the teams, Spurs have suffered, failing to win any of their last seven outside of a penalty shootout.
