Jose Mourinho's arrival at Tottenham Hotspur has brought a winning streak to the North London club, and they will look to continue it when they face Chelsea in a highly anticipated London derby on Sunday.
For Mourinho, the match will be a return to familiar territory, as he has previously managed Chelsea and led the club to three Premier League titles during his spells with Inter Milan and Manchester United.
However, the sight of Mourinho leading bitter rivals Tottenham is a new development that will likely spark a strong reaction from Chelsea fans.
Adding to the intrigue, Frank Lampard, one of Mourinho's former lieutenants, will be the Chelsea manager trying to outfox his former boss, with defeat potentially seeing Spurs leapfrog Chelsea into the top four.
Published on December 19, 2019, at 13:32:33, this article highlights the key factors that will influence the outcome of the match, including Mourinho's impressive record at home against sides he has managed and Tottenham's recent resurgence under his leadership.
Former Tottenham captain Ledley King believes that Mourinho's ability to restore the club's self-belief has been a key factor in their turnaround, saying, 'Confidence plays a big part, Spurs seemed to be stuck in a bit of a rut at the moment in time when Mauricio went. Mourinho is a winner. He's won everything. From my experience if someone like that comes into your club you listen, you take everything on board and you try to soak up as much as you can.'
