THE LOWDOWN

CHELSEA

• Chelsea kicked off their campaign with a rather unspectacular 0-1 win at Everton and there are still plenty of question marks over how Thomas Tuchel’s men will fare this season, particularly without a recognised striker.
• Summer signing Marc Cucurella is pushing for his first start for the club while Reece James may be brought back into the back three to accommodate Ruben Loftus-Cheek’s inclusion out wide.

TOTTENHAM

• Despite going behind early to a James Ward-Prowse strike last weekend, Tottenham ultimately overpowered Southampton with a resounding 4-1 victory with the performance of Dejan Kulusevski in particular catching the eye.
• Richarlison is available for the first time for his new club following suspension but, given how well the front three performed last week, it seems unlikely that Antonio Conte will throw the Brazilian straight into the starting line-up, while Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic will be under consideration in the full-back positions.

THE TEAM NEWS

CHELSEA

PREDICTED XI (3-4-2-1): Mendy; James, Thiago Silva, Koulibaly; Loftus-Cheek, Kante, Jorginho, Cucurella; Mount, Sterling; Havertz

UNAVAILABLE: Alonso (Out of favour), Kovacic (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE:

TOTTENHAM

PREDICTED XI (3-4-3): Lloris; Romero, Dier, Davies; Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Perisic; Kulusevski, Kane, Son

UNAVAILABLE: Skipp (Injured)

QUESTIONABLE: Lenglet (Fatigue)

THE PREDICTION

This London derby often throws up exciting affairs, and this should be no different with Antonio Conte taking his promising Spurs side to his old stomping ground. Both kicked off their campaign with victories, but there is no doubt that Spurs were the more impressive outfit with their front three interchanging to great effect. The likes of Koulibaly and Sterling may take a bit of time to bed into the Chelsea system, but they remain a dangerous side and Tuchel will have them fired up for this clash with their city rivals. If a goal goes in early, this could really open up so over 2.5 goals is a market to think about.

TIP: OVER 2.5 GOALS
