Tottenham v Chelsea

Spurs vs Chelsea Preview

Tottenham's topsy-turvy Premier League campaign continued on Thursday night when the north London club were dealt a highly disappointing 1-0 defeat away from home at Bournemouth which has resulted in Ange Postecoglou's side dropping down the table to 10th place.

Chelsea meanwhile racked up a third win on the trot in the English top flight in midweek thanks to a 5-1 romp down on the south coast away from home at Premier League strugglers Southampton, and The Blues will now seek a fourth consecutive victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Where to now for Tottenham? The north London hosts have managed to register back-to-back wins just once in their previous 25 matches overall in the Premier League which they achieved by way of victories against Brentford and Manchester United towards the end of September this year.

Inconsistency and ultimately disappointment have been the recent buzz-words when describing Tottenham's results in the top flight and Spurs have not disappointed in this regard so far this season as the hosts have collected six wins, involved in two draws, but have also been handed six defeats as well.

Four wins within their seven home games to date this term has been Tottenham's only real positive note so far but even then, Spurs have failed to win their last two home games.

Chelsea find themselves level-pegging with London rivals Arsenal as both sides possess 28 points to their name so far this season and prior to this new campaign, a lot of Chelsea fans would have been more than happy to settle for that.

Despite being dealt a 2-0 defeat at home to Manchester City on the opening day of this season's Premier League campaign, Enzo Maresca has moulded his Chelsea side into a battling outfit who are capable of grinding out results while the talent of star striker Cole Palmer continues to flourish.

Indeed, Palmer has netted on nine occasions so far this season and his partnership up front with Nicholas Jackson (eight goals) has been the catalyst to Chelsea's success so far this season.

Just one further defeat in their subsequent 13 matches since that opening loss to Manchester City underlines Chelsea's character and ability to put together results on a consistent basis so far this season, an impressive run of results that include collecting eight wins in the process.

In addition, Chelsea have won seven of their last nine away games in the Premier League and this sort of form could spell further trouble for Tottenham this Sunday
