Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea: Preview
Form
Tottenham Hotspur have not had the best time under Postecoglou this season, with them toiling in 10th place in the Premier League after 14 rounds of fixtures (20 points). They have shown plenty of promise throughout but have not managed to attain consistency, going from brilliant to lackluster in a game or two.
Their highest point of the season came on Matchday 12, as they beat reigning champions Manchester City 4-0 away at the Etihad Stadium. However, the good feeling did not last, as they drew 1-1 with Fulham the following weekend before losing 1-0 away at Bournemouth.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have seemingly found their rhythm under coach Enzo Maresca. After a slow start, the Blues have started picking up the pace, going six games without defeat in the Premier League, winning four. Thanks to their impressive run of form, the Pensioners have climbed to second place in the English top-flight standings. With 28 points to their name, Chelsea are ahead of third-place Arsenal on goal difference.
Chelsea delivered a fine performance in their last outing in the Premier League, claiming a massive 5-1 win over Southampton away from home.
