The kick-off is set for 11:00 pm IST and live telecast will be on Star Sports 4 and Star Sports HD 2.

Jose Mourinho’s side had a trip to this season’s surprise package Southampton and they were handed a shock when Sadio Mane put the Saints into the lead in the 16th minute. However, Eden Hazard restored parity for the visitors just before half-time and the score remained 1-1 . The Blues were very fortunate to have ended 2014 with a three-point lead intact on top of the league table as Burnley held Manchester City to a 2-2 draw. The Citizens are in action against Sunderland and whatever the result be the Portuguese tactician would want his boys to score as much as possible to boost the goal difference bar.
Meanwhile, Tottenham come into this clash after playing out a goalless draw against Manchester United. Juan Mata’s free-kick came off the upright but luckily for Hugo Lloris, his defenders managed to clear the lines. Mauricio Pochettino’s side sit seventh and can find themselves as high as fifth by the end of the day.
