Make no mistake about it , there are always fireworks whenever Chelsea and Tottenham face off.
All London derbies tend to be pretty tasty, but clashes between the Blues and the Lilywhites seem to contain added levels of aggro in comparison.
True legends of the game, from John Terry and Frank Lampard to Jimmy Greaves and Gareth Bale, have featured in this storied rivalry, and most of those iconic players left their mark.
So, let's have a look at some of the best games played between the two sides. Warning: there are lots.
Tottenham 2-1 Chelsea - 1967
There's been animosity between the two sides dating back to this FA Cup final, which Tottenham won 2-1.
Former Chelsea stars Jimmy Greaves and Terry Venables were among the heroes for Spurs that day, though it was Jimmy Robertson and Frank Saul who did the damage for the Lilywhites in front of goal.
Robertson netted first, converting from the edge of the box before the interval, with Saul striking on the spin to put Spurs two goals to the good.
Chelsea did pull one back late on through Bobby Tambling, with Pat Jennings flapping at a cross, but Spurs resisted the Blues' final charge to secure the trophy.
Tottenham 2-0 Chelsea - 1975
Nowadays, you wouldn't expect either Chelsea or Tottenham to be flailing around in a relegation scrap-fest, but that was the scenario towards the end of the 1974/75 season.
After the pre-kick off pitch invasion which only added to the tense atmosphere, the match, described by one broadcaster as 'the most important game played in the history of the two clubs', settled into a nice pattern, with plenty of kicking of players' legs.
Jennings was required to make two terrific stops at point blank range, keeping his side level before they took the lead in the second half.
Steve Perryman, Spurs' all time record appearance maker, swept in after arriving late into the box, before a young Ray Wilkins skewed wide with Jennings out of the picture. The Lilywhites doubled their advantage through Alfie Conn, who slammed home from the edge of the area to seal the win.
The victory proved to be a massive one for Spurs, who ended up finishing the season a point above the relegation zone in 19th. Chelsea failed to win either of their two remaining games after the defeat and finished 21st, dropping into the Second Division alongside Luton and Carlisle.
Chelsea 4-3 Tottenham - 1994
Both sides ended the 1993/94 season in the bottom half of the Premier League table, but that didn't detract from what was an enthralling February battle.
Spurs were two goals up in 18 minutes, with Steve Sedgley and Jason Dozzell getting on the scoresheet, before Mal Donaghy, Mark Stein and John Spencer tipped the scales in the Blues' favour at 3-2.
Andy Gray drew the visitors level with 20 minutes to go with a penalty before Tottenham were awarded another spot kick, though time Gray's effort was smothered by Dmitri Kharine.
Chelsea were then awarded a penalty and Stein tucked it away to give the hosts a dramatic victory.
Tottenham 1-6 Chelsea - 1997
Chelsea included a number of defensive minded players for their trip to White Hart Lane in December 1997. Celestine Babayaro, Michael Duberry, Graeme Le Saux, Frank Leboeuf, Dan Petrescu and Frank Sinclair all featured in the starting XI, while Les Ferdinand and David Ginola turned out for the hosts.
It was built up to be a high-scoring affair and that it most certainly was, though not in the way fans of either team might have imagined prior to the game.
After a steady first half which saw Tore Andre Flo's opener canceled out by Ramon Vega's strike, Chelsea turned the dial up a few notches in the second. By the 63rd minute the Blues had raced into a 4-1 lead after efforts from Roberto Di Matteo and Petruscu, coupled with Flo's second.
Mark Nichols soon ploughed through to convert Gianfranco Zola's pass, before Flo completed his hat trick late on to seal the rout.
Glorious stuff from Chelsea, but pretty disgraceful from Tottenham.
Tottenham 2-1 Chelsea - 2007
Now transport yourself back to 2007. At that time, Tottenham hadn't beaten Chelsea in a league game since 1990. A pretty tragic record that, but most bad runs come to an end at some point and, with a little magic from Aaron Lennon, Tottenham finally got one over their London rivals.
Chelsea had taken the lead thanks to Claude Makelele's excellent volley, but Michael Dawson made it 1-1 with a well taken header. Lennon then took centre stage, capitalising on some excellent work from Robbie Keane on the wing to control and fire in the winner.
The Blues lost John Terry in the second half to two yellow cards as they pushed for an equaliser, with Arjen Robben hitting the woodwork and Frank Lampard and Salomon Kalou also going close, but Spurs weathered the storm to secure a famous victory.
Chelsea 1-2 Tottenham - 2008
As of the date of publication, the 2008 League Cup is Tottenham's most recent piece of silverware. Not a great record for a supposed 'top six' side, eh?
Regardless, it was still a fabulous triumph for Juande Ramos and Spurs, but they had to come from behind to seal the win.
Didier Drogba wrong-footed goalkeeper Paul Robinson with a free kick in the 39th minute, but Wayne Bridge's handball gave Dimitar Berbatov the chance to equalise from the penalty spot, a chance he took nonchalantly.
Extra time ensued, and some nightmare fuel from Petr Cech gifted Jonathan Woodgate the winner. The former Real Madrid defender headed the ball onto Cech's gloves, and the rebound struck Woodgate's noggin again and bounced slowly over the line.
Tottenham 4-4 Chelsea - 2008
Just under a month after that League Cup final and the two teams were at it again, with Tottenham this time looking to dent Chelsea's Premier League title hopes. They even played footage of the cup win on the big screens before kick off.
That joyous mood was killed off pretty quickly by Drogba's headed opener in the first three minutes, but Spurs responded quickly as Woodgate - the hero in the cup final - nodded home.
Michael Essien flicked one in and Joe Cole extended the lead to 3-1 in the second half. However, Tottenham rallied to level matters, with Berbatov heading in before Tom Huddlestone equalised with 15 minutes to go.
The visitors took the lead for a third time through Cole's second, but the home crowd erupted when Robbie Keane curled a pearler first time from 22 yards out in the 88th minute to ensure the points were shared.
The result meant Chelsea stayed third in the title race, and they would eventually finish the season just two points behind winners Manchester United.
Tottenham 1-5 Chelsea - 2012
Drogba and Wembley truly was a match made in heaven. He ended his career with eight goals at the stadium, with one of those being the belting opener to Chelsea and Tottenham's FA Cup semi final in 2012.
The Ivorian held off William Gallas before smashing an unstoppable half-volley past Carlo Cudicini.
A controversial second was given to Chelsea by referee Howard Webb when Juan Mata struck towards goal - the ball didn't cross the line, but Spurs cancelled that strike out seven minutes later when Gareth Bale tapped in on the break.
However, three goals in 13 minutes from Chelsea ensured they would meet Liverpool in the final, as Ramires got in behind and dinked in, Frank Lampard smacked home a stunning free kick, and Florent Malouda slipped in the fifth.
Tottenham 5-3 Chelsea - 2015
This was probably the match which announced Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham to the world. The pressing was intense and the link between Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen was at its best as Spurs shocked the league leaders at White Hart Lane on New Year's Day.
Chelsea had initially taken the lead through Diego Costa who converted after some pinball action in the box, before Kane weaved his way from the touchline infield to fire a low shot past Thibaut Courtois.
Danny Rose would give the hosts the lead by following up Nacer Chadli's shot which hit the post, before Andros Townsend slammed in a penalty after Gary Cahill clumsily brought down Kane.
A brilliant turn and finish from Kane increased the scoreline to 4-1, with Spurs truly in dreamland at that point.
Federico Fazio - remember him? - was caught out for Chelsea's second as Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard linked before the latter fired into the corner, though Chadli's deflected strike soon restored Tottenham's three-goal lead.
John Terry snuck in at the back stick to finish the scoring at 5-3, getting 2015 off to a stylish and frenetic start.
Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham - 2015
Just a few months after that 5-3 classic, the pair met again in the League Cup final at Wembley.
In truth, Chelsea were rarely threatened, with Christian Eriksen's free kick which rattled off the woodwork the only real moment of concern for the Blues. The Dane was marked out of the game as Jose Mourinho used Kurt Zouma to effectively keep him quiet.
Chelsea took the lead on the stroke of half time through captain John Terry, who scrambled in a deflected shot from a corner, and that advantage was doubled when Costa's strike was nudged past Hugo Lloris by Kyle Walker.
Chelsea 2-2 Tottenham - 2016
How does one do this game any kind of justice in retrospect?
It had everything. Great goals, a shocking lack of discipline - including an eye-gouge - a referee who later admitted he didn't officiate the game properly, and a post-match brawl.
Needing a win to stay in the Premier League title hunt with leaders Leicester, Spurs ended the first half two goals to the good thanks to Kane and Son Heung-min.
A scrappy Gary Cahill strike from a corner halved the deficit, before Eden Hazard gloriously curled one into the top corner.
The result confirmed Leicester as champions that year, with Spurs receiving nine yellow cards - the most by a single team in a match in Premier League history. Mousa Dembele was later banned for six games for sticking a finger in Costa's eye.
Chelsea 4-2 Tottenham - 2017
According to Jermaine Jenas' post-match analysis, Tottenham actually deserved to win this FA Cup semi final.
Unfortunately for Tottenham, while they controlled decent periods of the game, they were outscored by four goals to two. That might not be the most incredible take on a football game out there, but sometimes it's just that simple. They lost and lost convincingly.
Willian scored an early free kick for Chelsea before Harry Kane equalised with a stooping header. Just before half time, Mauricio Pochettino's decision to use Son Heung-min as a wing back backfired spectacularly as the South Korean gave away a penalty, which Willian duly converted.
Dele Alli restored parity with a smart finish from Christian Eriksen's brilliant assist, before substitute Hazard popped Chelsea back in front. Nemanja Matic's scorching piledriver from distance ended the contest to put Antonio Conte's side into the final.
