Chelsea and Tottenham will lock horns for the first time this season during Sunday’s showdown.
Chelsea make the short trip to London rivals Spurs this weekend for another away day in the Premier League.
The Blues start this weekend sitting second in the league table, which is deserved for how well they’ve done under Enzo Maresca’s management. Those inside Chelsea aren’t thinking about a title bid, though.
As for Spurs, they’re down in 10th right now because they can’t find any kind of consistency. Since winning 4-0 away at Manchester City, they’ve picked up one point from the next two league fixtures against Fulham and Bournemouth.

When predicting the upcoming meeting between Spurs and Chelsea, Cundy told talkSPORT: “1-1. I hope I’m wrong. It just feels like it’s going to be a draw…
“A draw is not a bad result by the way. It feels like a bit of a tricky one for us. I’m going to go draw.”
Chris Sutton thinks Spurs will lose to Chelsea in the upcoming clash. Similarly, Paul Merson reckons Chelsea will leave Spurs with three points.
