Tottenham Hostpur
Tottenham Hotspur has been flying high in the Premier League since the start of the campaign, remaining the only unbeaten team in the league. This has come as a surprise to many, considering they hired a new coach and sold their talisman, Harry Kane, to Bayern Munich at the beginning of the season. Ange Postecoglou’s side has enjoyed their best-ever start to a league season and has the opportunity to return to the top of the table if they win against Chelsea this evening.
What’s impressed many is the fact that it’s not just the football that’s looked good, it’s coming with goals too with Spurs scoring 22 goals in their opening games and conceding just 9.
Son Heung-min has been firing in all cylinders, registering 8 goals in 1o games, almost half of the teams goals this season. The striker has also shown to be having a growing relationship with English star player, James Maddison who has notched up 5 assists and 3 goals so far this season.

Chelsea
Chelsea has had a rather contrasting start to their league campaign, primarily due to their lack of potency in front of goal. Mauricio Pochettino’s men have found it very hard to score this season, lacking the quality needed to convert the chances they’ve been creating. They’ve also struggled with consistency, with several key players spending extended periods on the sidelines due to injuries plaguing the team. They find themselves in the bottom half of the table, having won just three of their ten league games. They will be hoping to kick-start their season with a much-needed morale-boosting win against a Spurs side that has proven very hard to beat, especially with more daunting fixtures in the next few weeks.
Prediction: Spurs for the straight win. Chelsea will find it difficult to breach the Spurs’ backline and goalkeeper this evening, as they have only conceded nine goals this season. Their defensive record so far is second only to Manchester City, who have conceded just eight goals this campaign.”
