The stage is set up wonderfully for two of London’s biggest clubs this weekend in the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur hosts reigning European Champion Chelsea in what is expected to be another gripping encounter at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London. Things were looking very rosy for the Lilywhites, who started the season with three 1-0 victories against Manchester City, Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers respectively. Spurs topped the table heading into the first international break and Nuno Espirito Santo won Manager of the Month for August. A 3-0 demolition at the hands of fellow London side Crystal Palace clipped the high-flying Lilywhites’ wings. Nuno’s men are no longer top of the table and will look to set things right against their bitter rivals, Chelsea, who is joint-top after taking 10 points from the first four games.
The Blues—like Tottenham—have started the season well, winning three of the first four games so far this season. Thomas Tuchel’s men have four clean sheets from their last five matches in all competitions, scoring 10 goals and only conceding a Mohammed Salah penalty at Anfield. This fixture will be a real test for Tottenham to see how it can compete against Europe’s best.

The most recent time these two sides collided was in preseason in the The Mind Series, played only between Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham. The match was played at Stamford Bridge. The Blues led 2-0 through Hakim Ziyech scoring either side of halftime, only for Tottenham’s Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn to level the game with 20 minutes to go. Spurs debutant Pierluigi Gollini made a plethora of excellent second half saves to keep the Blues out of the back of the net.
Chelsea got the better of Spurs in the last league meeting at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium by way of a Jorginho penalty for a 1-0 win for Tuchel’s side though. The two squads have met a total of 58 times in the Premier League since its inception, the Blues have 31 wins compared to Spurs’ seven when these fierce clubs battle against each other.
