Tottenham Hotspur

WLLDWL

After being defeated in their last game at the hands of Fulham in Premier League action, Tottenham Hotspur will be aiming to make amends here.

In that match, Tottenham Hotspur had 43% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 4 on target. Fulham got 13 shots on goal with 4 on target. Rodrigo Muniz (78') and Ryan Sessegnon (88') scored for Fulham.

The stats tell the story, and Tottenham Hotspur have been scored against in 6 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 8 goals in total. Defensively, Tottenham Hotspur seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. We shall soon find out if that trend can be continued on in this game.

Coming into this contest, Tottenham Hotspur have not registered a win against Chelsea when having played them away from home in the previous 6 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.

ℹ️ Team News: Chelsea

Omari Kellyman (surgery), Aarón Anselmino (unknown injury) and David Datro Fofana (Knee injury) won’t be playing for Chelsea gaffer Enzo Maresca.

It seems likely that The Blues look set to line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game featuring Robert Sanchez, Malo Gusto, Trevoh Chalobah, Levi Colwill, Marc Cucurella, Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto, Cole Palmer, Jadon Sancho and Nicolas Jackson.

🗞️ Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

From a largely full-strength squad, there is only a single fitness issue for the Tottenham Hotspur gaffer Ange Postecoglou to be concerned about. Radu Drăgușin (Cruciate ligament tear) misses out for this game.

We are inclined to think that Spurs seem likely to utilise a 4-3-3 formation using Guglielmo Vicario, Djed Spence, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Wilson Odobert, Dominic Solanke and Heung-Min Son.

✨ Prediction

It looks to us that Chelsea will, in all likelihood, dominate possession and create several successful chances.

At the other end, Tottenham Hotspur could well find it tough to get a goal of their own - but, we do see them converting at least once here, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a decent 3-1 winning score for Chelsea at the end of the 90 minutes.
