Willian may be a rare success story in what has been a woeful Chelsea season to date, but with the help of fantasy football game Oulala.com, we reveal the statistics that show Christian Eriksen is outperforming the Brazilian in almost every area.

Willian fired in another free-kick against Maccabi Tel Aviv on Tuesday as Chelsea strung together successive victories for just the second time this season.

The 27-year-old has scored six goals from direct set-pieces this term, a statistic made even more staggering by the fact he has taken just 11 direct free-kicks, hitting the target with nine. He is Europe's leading free-kick scorer, netting two more than Miralem Pjanic and a further two more than the next best individual tally.

But while Willian is apparently carrying a team in crisis, Spurs midfielder Eriksen has had to share the limelight at White Hart Lane this term in a team on an upward trajectory. The rise of England internationals Dele Alli and Eric Dier, combined with the luxury of a stern and settled back four, has eased the pressure on the Dane to succeed.

A lack of recognition, however, has not coincided with a dip in form, and Eriksen continues to thrive. The 23-year-old has taken to Pochettino's high-pressing playing style, winning 60 per cent of his tackles, and creating 31 chances, of which five were converted.

By comparison, Willian - who has played more Premier League minutes than Eriksen - has won just 42 per cent of his tackles and forged 24 opportunities for team-mates, assisiting just a solitary goal. In the Premier League even his scoring tally is comparable to Eriksen's given he has enjoyed most of his goal succes in Europe.

Mourinho's men travel to White Hart Lane on Sunday having won just twice on the road this term: once away at West Brom and another at Walsall in the League Cup.

Qarabag vs Tottenham - player ratings 12 show all Qarabag vs Tottenham - player ratings 1/12 Hugo Lloris: 6 The Frenchman was a spectator for most of the first-half but provided a safe pair of hands on the occasions he was called into action. Scott Heavey/Getty Images 2/12 Kieran Trippier: 5 The full back rolled his ankle early on but recovered to produce a solid performance. However, his display was not devoid of errors and he will need to do more to put Walker under pressure. Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images 3/12 Toby Alderweireld: 6 The Belgian's passing was superb. He was rarely troubled by the Qarabag attack but Chelsea will provide a much sterner test of his abilities. 4/12 Jan Vertonghen: 6 The central defender was given both freedom and space on the ball, which he gladly took. Operating almost as a midfielder at times, he stroked the ball around well. Clive Rose/Getty Images 5/12 Ben Davies: 5 Not the Welshman's best night. With the onus on him to attack he didn't produce a display that will have been worthy of dislodging Danny Rose. Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images 6/12 Eric Dier: 6 The midfielder's work was not the most eye-catching but it was valuable nonetheless. His presence in the centre of the park ensured the hosts could not control the midfield battle. Endless energy. 7/12 Ryan Mason: 5 Unloaded a couple of dangerous shots from long range but was well below his best. The midfielder will not win his place back in Tottenham's side on a regular basis if he produces performances like this. 8/12 Dele Alli: 7 A bright spark on an uninspiring night, the 19-year-old thrived in the number 10 role and proved to be a constant menace for the Qarabag defence. His presence will be missed against Chelsea. Richard Heathcote/Getty Images 9/12 Christian Eriksen: 6 The Dane had a mound of bodies to break down but eventually did so with a typically excellent delivery from a set piece. 10/12 Heung-min Son: 6 The South Korean drifted between the lines and asked plenty of questions of the Azerbaijani backline. He was unlucky to see his effort cannon back off the bar and provided a fine flick in the build-up to Kane's goal. Bryn Lennon/Getty Images 11/12 Harry Kane: 7 It was a difficult night for the striker, who worked his socks off, but he finally got his reward late on. The 22-year-old's header was the simplest of finishes but it was no coincidence that he popped up with a pivotal contribution. Bryn Lennon/Getty Images 12/12 Tom Carroll: 5 Introduced for Mason but missed a chance to edge ahead of his compatriot in the pecking order ahead of the Chelsea game. 1/12 Hugo Lloris: 6 The Frenchman was a spectator for most of the first-half but provided a safe pair of hands on the occasions he was called into action.

But Tottenham, the Premier League's leading foulers, will need to tread carefully against the champions. Mourinho's side have been on the receiving end of more fouls than any other top flight club this term.

Indeed, Blues players have been illegally challenged 176 times in just 13 matches, while Tottenham's pressing game comes with its downfalls as Pochettino's players have been penalised a record 184 times this season.

And with Willian lurking, the risks that come with conceding a free-kick on the edge of the 18-yard box are multiplied.
