EPL: Chelsea vs Tottenham – Possible prediction

Published

on

Chelsea will return to action on Sunday when they host Tottenham Hotspurs in the Premier League.

The Blues held to the match after they were held to a 1-1 draw vs Brighton in the midweek.

Chelsea will hope to win all three points vs Tottenham Hotspurs, having defeated them in the semi-final of the Carabao League.

Reacting ahead of the match, former Arsenal star Paul Merson has dropped his prediction as he tipped the Blues to win.

‘This is a big game now for both teams. If Tottenham win their games in hand, they go above Chelsea in the Premier League table. If Tottenham do manage to win this game, I’d start sweating as a Chelsea fan,’ Merson told Sportskeeda.

“‘I know Chelsea aren’t playing particularly well right now, but I couldn’t believe how comfortable it was for them in the cup. Beating them twice in the cup and playing them again in no time hands them a psychological advantage.

Merson believes the Blues will revert to a back-three, and Harry Kane will have his work cut out for him.

‘Rudiger was allowed to go in to mark Kane in both cup matches, and Chelsea will employ a similar tactic here. Tottenham will be on a high after yesterday’s result, but I’m going with a Chelsea win in the Premier League this weekend,’ the former Arsenal star added.
