After picking up just one point from Hull City and Brentford, Chelsea have recorded back-to-back league wins against Bournemouth and Everton.
That has lifted them up to fourth place, and in position to finish in the Champions League places come the end of the season.
That is where the Blues want to be, and Xabi Alonso is determined to get them there.
He will be without first-choice goalkeeper Emi Martinez though, who came off injured against the Toffees.
Roberto De Zerbi will be sweating on the fitness of Tosin Adarabioyo, Andrew Robertson and Omar Marmoush, who all came off against Coventry.
He finally masterminded Tottenham to their first league victory of the season, which should boost their confidence heading to the Bridge.
However, their recent head-to-head record is dreadful, so the odds are against Spurs here.
Nonetheless, anything can happen in a derby.

Whispers predicts: Chelsea 3-1 Tottenham
Chelsea are 3/4 (1.75) favourites, but while we agree with the bookies, we want to explore other bets.
BTTS – Yes at 4/7 (1.57) is our first pick, having come through in Tottenham's last four games.
We are also backing Over 3.5 goals at 13/10 (2.30), which came through in three of those matches.
Cole Palmer is chasing his 50th Premier League goal, and with three in his previous five league head-to-heads against Tottenham, Palmer to score anytime at 7/4 (2.75) is our final punt.
> BTTS – Yes at 1.57 | Likelihood: High
> Over 3.5 goals at 2.30 | Likelihood: Medium
> Palmer to score anytime at 2.75 | Likelihood: Medium
