The Blues welcome the Lily White’s in a battle for superiority and with both sides having the eagerness to win to ascend on the premier League table.
The blues come into this game off the back of a 0-2 win against Newcastle at the St. James park through an own goal from Abraham Fernandez and a beautiful team goal that set up Tammy Abraham to do damage and they would come into this game looking poised for the full 3 points, Chelsea who have found a way to tighten their leaky defense after their abysmal defending at early set of fixture in the start of the campaign with Thiago Silva bringing in stability to the defense partnering Kourt Zouma who have upped his game as well, they have conceded 10 goals and scored a whooping 22 goals in 9 matches so far.
However, they face a dogged Jose Mourinho’s side, Tottenham Hotspur as well whose team have the tightest of defense so far after 9 matches conceding only 9 goals and pumping 21 goals into the opposition net and they sit top on the table would be coming in with all confidence as they defeated Manchester City last weekend by 2 goals to nothing in confident fashion as they didn’t have much of the ball, but they did the needed job which was to get the decisive goals and the full 3 points.
Also, This fixture would be the 3rd fixture against a top 6 side this season for Spurs, first was against Manchester United which they decimated in brilliant fashion by 1-6 and last weekend they defeated the cityzens,
Now they travel to West London to face the blues, it all sets up for a massive battle at the top half of the table, a battle with significant Importance on the English Premier League.
Remember the last time both side battled was in the Carabao Cup where spurs defeated the blues on penalties after a 1-1 draw in 90 mins. A game where there were some antics by Jose Mourinho and Frank Lampard on the touchline which Jose later played down on In the post match press conference but Lampard in the press conference said that Mourinho was over stepping his boundary going and filtering around his team and his managerial style.
PREDICTION: Chelsea FC 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur, prediction is based on both astute defenses, Although Jose’s side have the better of defenses and Chelsea have a fierce attacking team including Tottenham Hotspur with who has pumped in a remarkable 21 goals but I see Mourinho’s side doing the needful and coming out with the 3 points, Although, I see a very tight and cagey game in Roman Abrahmovic 1000th game at the helm of affairs at Chelsea with significantly the two guys (Jose and Lampard) who brought success to the blues.
