Tottenham vs Chelsea: preview, free tip and statistics
18.09.2021 13:00
The reigning European champions come to the ground of their arch rivals Tottenham Hotspurs from London on Sunday night.
Background information, news and team form
Tottenham remained the only 100% team in the English top flight until their last match against Crystal Palace, having managed to win their opening three games. However, on the ground of another London club, Nuno Espirito Santo's charges succumbed 3-0 after goals from Zaha and debutant Eduardo, who scored the fastest debut goal in the Premier League, netting in just 28 seconds. It should be noted that Spurs were playing with ten men from the 58th minute onwards when defender Tanganga was shown a second yellow card. Thanks to their seventh place finish in the league last season, Tottenham are not without a trophy and have secured their ticket to the newly formed Conference League. In the first match of the group stage, the London side travelled to the French city of Rennes. Here, after a poor performance, the Roosters at least managed to draw 2-2.
Chelsea also started their journey to defend the millionaire competition this week when they welcomed the famous Zenit St. Petersburg to Stamford Bridge. The Russian champion resisted Chelsea's pressure for a long time when star scorer and the club's most expensive signing Romelu Lukaku finally broke through in the 69th minute. The match ended 1-0. Chelsea, along with United and Liverpool, are the last three teams in the English top flight that have yet to lose a single game. However, the reigning European champions will have no easy task in stretching that unbeaten run. The derby with Tottenham is always heated and the match could be decided by a single mistake that results in the decisive goal of the match.
Betdoin's view of the game
Home side Tottenham enter this match as an underdog at odds of 5.15, a draw is available at odds of 3.75 and a win for visiting Chelsea can be backed at odds of 1.77.

Absentees and estimated line-ups
Tottenham will be missing the aforementioned Tanganga, who will be serving his card penalty from the last game against Crystal Palace. Eric Dier had to make a substitution in the last game after limping off the pitch and his start is also unlikely. Steven Bergwijn and Lucas Moura had to withdraw from the match against Rennes and their starts are also doubtful. Song Heung - Min could be available, but his final start will be decided by the doctors themselves on match day. Chelsea will miss the injury-plagued Christian Pulisic, who is troubled by an injured ankle. A question mark hangs over the start of N'Golo Kanté, who was not fit for the Zenit game, but Thomas Tuchel hopes the French midfielder will be available for this match.
Tottenham - estimated line-up:
Lloris - Emerson, Sanchez, Romero, Reguilon - Hojbjerg, Skipp - Gil, Alli, Son - Kane
Chelsea - estimated line-up:
Mendy - Azpilicueta, Christensen, Rudiger - James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso - Mount, Havertz - Lukaku
