The hosts come into this clash after snatching a last-gasp equaliser away at Tottenham on Saturday evening to earn a 2-2 draw.

What’ more, a win on Tuesday night would see Fabian Hurzeler’s side leapfrog Chelsea in the Premier League table.

That latest setback means the capital club have now lost each of their last four Premier League matches and, perhaps even more concerning, have failed to score in any of those defeats.
