Ange Postecoglou’s side hope to bounce back after a shock defeat to Bournemouth

Ange Postecoglou not bothered if Tottenham fans support him
Tottenham host Chelsea in Sunday’s late Premier League kick off hoping to respond positively after a surprising 1-0 loss to Bournemouth during the week.
Ange Postecoglou’s side were unable to overturn Dean Huijsen’s first half strike as the Cherries collected a vital three points on Thursday evening. Saturday’s results mean Spurs have slipped into the bottom half of the table but they will jump up to seventh if they can defeat Enzo Maresca’s high-flying Chelsea this afternoon.
The Blues come into the game on a six-match unbeaten run in the league following a 5-1 mauling of Southampton in their last outing. Maresca’s team sit second just seven points behind leaders Liverpool and with Arne Slot’s men having their game versus Everton postponed yesterday, Chelsea can cut that gap to just four points ahead of a busy Christmas period.

Tottenham vs Chelsea
Tottenham Hotspur risk slipping out of the race for a European place as Ange Postecoglou’s side look to bounce back from defeat at Bournemouth in a London derby against Chelsea.
A draw at Fulham last weekend was followed by a disappointing performance at the Vitality Stadium, with Postecoglou involved in an angry confrontation with Spurs supporters after the game.
It has been an uneven Premier League campaign for the club with injuries beginning to bite, but Postecoglou will hope to return his side to the level they showed in thrashing Manchester City a fortnight ago.
They may have to find that sort of form against a Chelsea side that has impressed against both Aston Villa and Southampton in the last seven days.
