TOTTENHAM vs CHELSEA PREVIEW and PREDICTION
On the back of contrasting performances on the South Coast, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea headline Sunday's Premier League fixture list with a mouthwatering derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
While Enzo Maresca's men made extremely light work of Southampton in a 5-1 midweek mauling, their hosts were fortunate to only lose by a narrow margin in their 1-0 reverse at Bournemouth.
A handful of disgruntled Tottenham supporters did not hesitate to let Ange Postecoglou know what they truly thought of Thursday's horror show at Bournemouth, where a first-half header from teenage centre-back Dean Huijsen propelled the Cherries to the three points that their performance merited.
A typically stoic Postecoglou accepted the "direct feedback" he received from the furious Lilywhites army as Spurs failed to escape mid-table obscurity; Sunday's hosts lie smack-bang in the centre of the Premier League standings in 10th place, six points below the Champions League positions.
Only one of Tottenham's last six matches across all tournaments has seen Postecoglou's men prevail, although it was their 4-0 upset of champions Manchester City a couple of weekends ago, and the Lilywhites are bidding to score for the 10th home game running in all competitions this weekend.
As Tottenham's downfall at Bournemouth began with a first-half header from a centre-back, Chelsea's goal rush at Southampton was triggered in the same circumstances, as Axel Disasi breached the Saints' backline with just seven minutes on the St Mary's board.
Joe Aribo wasted little time in restoring parity for the men in red and white, but a rotated Chelsea side soon flaunted their attacking prowess again, as Christopher Nkunku, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer and Jadon Sancho all made the net bulge in the Blues' latest emphatic Premier League triumph.
As much as Maresca may continue to downplay Chelsea's chances of Premier League glory, Sunday's visitors are now the closest challengers to leaders Liverpool. Having leapfrogged Arsenal on goal difference in midweek, they sit second with a seven-point gap to make up to the Reds.
Including last season's 4-1 triumph in this fixture, aided by a nine-man Tottenham's implosion, Chelsea have beaten Spurs in five of their last seven away matches, picking up more wins against the Lilywhites at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than any other team since 2019.
PREDICTION: Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Chelsea
As Tottenham may be working with just one fit centre-back and a day's less rest than their opponents, the home faithful may resign themselves to a repeat of last year's home humbling at the hands of Chelsea.
Postecoglou's men were highly fortunate to only concede once on Bournemouth's turf, but a goal-happy Chelsea should not make the same attacking mistakes the Cherries did at one of their happiest hunting grounds.
