MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Time is running out for Chelsea to salvage something from their season as they prepare to visit Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday but the Blues' record against their London rivals will give coach Graham Potter hope that a much-needed win is on the horizon.

Despite their record January transfer window spending of around 300 million pounds , Chelsea have won one of their last 10 matches in all competitions.

A visit to Tottenham could be just what the doctor ordered. Spurs have lost all three of their home league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium against Chelsea by an aggregate score of 6-0. "When you don't get results, it can be tough," the under-pressure Potter said after last weekend's home loss against Southampton."That's how it is.

However, showing the character of champions, they scored three goals without reply, including two in stoppage time, to move back to the top with a two-point lead over City, having played one game fewer. Champions Manchester City will look to recover from two successive 1-1 draws in matches they dominated -- at RB Leipzig in their Champions League last-16 first leg in midweek and away to Nottingham Forest last weekend -- when they travel to the south coast to face struggling Bournemouth.
