Tottenham go in search of a rare Premier League win at Chelsea on Sunday on a high from a stunning victory at Leicester City and David Moyes could return to haunt Manchester United.

Steven Bergwijn scored twice deep into stoppage time as Spurs snatched a 3-2 win at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday, moving above Arsenal into fifth place.

Tottenham have a poor Premier League record at Stamford Bridge, but the European champions have picked up only three points from four Premier League matches.

Moyes takes his fourth-placed West Ham side to his former club on Saturday for a clash between two Champions League hopefuls, while second-placed Liverpool head to Crystal Palace on Sunday.
