On Sunday's game day of the Premier League, a real rally in the capital awaits us, where Tottenham Hotspur will host the Chelsea team at home. The two teams come to the meeting in different forms: while Spurs suffered a defeat against Bournemouth, Chelsea won decisively against Southampton. Let's see what we can expect in this match!
Tottenham Hotspur's situation and chances
Tottenham slumped after the momentum at the beginning of the season, losing 1-0 at home to Bournemouth in their last match. In the match, the team showed a weak defense and proved to be weak in attack. Ange Postecoglou's side are currently 10th in the table, six points adrift of the Champions League places.
Key statistics:
- Tottenham have won just one of their last six matches.
- They could not win in their last three home matches (Roma, Fulham, Ipswich).
- Postecoglou's side have won just four of their last 13 London derbies.
Tottenham's biggest problem lies in injuries, especially in defence. The latest injury to Ben Davies made matters worse. The team currently has only one healthy center back. In the forward line, Son Heung-min is expected to return to the starting line-up after only coming on as a substitute in the match against Bournemouth.
Expected starting team (4-3-3):
Forster - Porro, Gray, Dragusin, Udogie - Kulusevski, Bissouma, Sarr - Johnson, Solanke, Son
Chelsea's form and chances
Chelsea has been showing better and better form in recent times. In their last match, they won 5-1 against Southampton, where several of their key players excelled. Enzo Maresca's team is currently in 2nd place in the table, seven points behind leaders Liverpool.
Key statistics:
- Chelsea have won four games in a row, three of them away.
- They have won four of their last five away matches against Tottenham.
- They also perform well in London derbies: they are undefeated against teams from the capital so far this season.
Chelsea have fewer injuries than their opponents, although Wesley Fofana and Reece James remain unavailable. Mykhaylo Mudryk is also unable to play due to illness, but there are still plenty of options in the attacking line. Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho and Nicolas Jackson are expected to return to the starting line-up.
Expected starting team (4-2-3-1):
Sanchez - Gusto, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella - Caicedo, Fernandez - Sancho, Palmer, Neto - Jackson
Head-to-head results
