Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Preview

The teacher meets his pupil this weekend as Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham visit London neighbours Chelsea in Round 10 of the 2020/2021 Premier League season.

The hosts who sit in third place, two points shy of their visitors, are flying high after winning their last three games on the bounce.

Frank Lampard’s newly assembled side are beginning to gel with Hakim Ziyech adding to their creative power in front while summer signings Mendy and Thiago Silva have made them more solid defencively.

Such has been their improvement in recent times that they have conceded only once in their last four PL games while keeping three clean sheets in that period.

Tottenham meanwhile head into this tie as the most in-form team in the division. The North London side sit top of the pile with 20 points after nine games.

Spurs who have found their mojo in recent times will look to win their fifth straight match in the PL. Jose Mourinho’s side have conceded only two goals in their last five matches in all competitions while scoring 12 times in that period.

The away side will fancy their chances against Frank Lampard’s side after their exploits against Man City last time out.

Christian Pulisic and Billy Gilmour are injury doubts for Frank Lampard while Toby Alderweireld and Erik Lamela are the only injury absentees for Spurs.
