Chelsea and Tottenham meet for the first time this season with the Blues heading to north London on Sunday, and Jason Cundy has shared his prediction.
The Blues have made a really strong start to the season and moved into second place after Wednesday night’s 5-1 victory against Southampton.
The win saw Chelsea move seven points behind leaders Liverpool and they are now the top scorers in the league with 31 goals from 14 games.
Cundy gives Tottenham vs Chelsea prediction
Despite Chelsea’s good start to the season the Blues are still missing a win against what would be considered a traditional big six side.
Maresca’s men have lost to Manchester City and Liverpool, whilst they drew against Manchester United and Arsenal.
A win against Tottenham would tick that box and the Blues have a very good record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with just one defeat and five wins in their seven visits.

Maresca had the luxury of making seven changes for the game against Southampton and was able to rest key players in Pedro Neto, Nicolas Jackson and Levi Colwill.
Tottenham in contrast are struggling and currently find themselves tenth in the table and six points off the top four, although they do have a better record in the big games having beaten City, United and Aston Villa this season.
Chelsea will be favourites, but former Blue Cundy feels like it could be a tricky afternoon for the high flying Blues.
“1-1. I hope I’m wrong. It just feels like it’s going to be a draw,” he told talkSPORT.
“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.”

Another former Chelsea player Chris Sutton has backed the Blues to win, and despite Tottenham’s poor form they are capable of pulling a result out the bag.
A win against Spurs would see Chelsea further cement their place in the top four and make it four Premier League wins in a row since retuning after the November international break.
