MATA v MODRIC : Who will come out on top?

It's common knowledge that Chelsea offered ridiculous money to try and sign Luka Modric back in the summer and Spurs stood firm and resisted our advances. You have to hold your hands up to them and say fair play to them really. Levy backed his manager, stood by him and look how well they are doing this season so far.

From Chelsea's point of view, we were disappointed of course and needed that creative spark that everyone had been calling for. In my view we got that in Juan Mata so no longer need Modric here at the club.

Juan Mata can be a match winner in his own right when he comes inside. We have seen on numerous occasions this season that he can provide that killer pass and open things up for us when we struggle to break teams down.

The midfield battle will be key in this one with the likes of Scotty Parker and Oriol Romeu looking to win tackles and protect their defences and allow the likes of Juan Mata and Modric to start things off.

So Thursday night will be interesting to see how comes out on top between these two. Modric pulls the strings for Spurs and will be looking to get on the ball and create, as will Mata for Chelsea.

It really could come down to a moment of magic on Thursday night that decides this one amongst all the blood and thunder of a London derby.

I just wonder who will come out on top?
