How to stream the game from anywhere
If you aren’t sure if you can access BT Sport where you are, then the best way to get around your issues might be a VPN. That’s because access to normal coverage might be geo-blocked – this means you’re prevented from watching outside your home country, generally due to rights reasons.
VPNs encrypt and anonymise your data, making it appear as if you are watching from your home country, making them useful for much more than entertainment.

Chelsea vs Tottenham match preview
Chelsea squandered plenty of chances in their match on Monday, against Manchester United. However, the blues did have two goals contentiously ruled out by VAR.
Currently, Chelsea sit in fourth with 41 points and Tottenham are just behind them in fifth, on 40 points. As a result, a Spurs win would see them leapfrog Chelsea into an even stronger league position.
Manchester City have been banned from European competition for two years, meaning that Spurs and Chelsea essentially only have to make the top five in order to qualify for the Champions League next season. However, there remains stiff competition for places, with Manchester United, Sheffield United, Wolves and Everton all close behind.

Spurs’ recent form has seen them bag victories despite not playing too much eye-catching football. They beat Villa 3-2 away from home in their last league fixture and have won their last three. However, Mourinho’s men lost at home to RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek, so Lampard and Chelsea may take hope from that disappointing performance.
It’s hard to split these two teams at the moment. Chelsea have only won one of their last five league games but were very unlucky against Manchester United on Monday and created quite a few chances.
This one is finely poised to entertain football fans come Saturday afternoon − it’s well worth tuning in to watch.
