“[...] it will be a difficult game but we want to play this game. He’s now well on the uphill slope of his tenure at Spurs, with a team molded in his image and executing at the level that just might create the proverbial blazing inferno. There are no such delusions of grandeur being entertained at the moment, with the focus on the more immediate improvements necessary. Fellow new arrivals Yves Bissouma and Ivan Perišić both played in that impressive 4-1 win over Southampton. Ethan Ampadu and Billy Gilmour have been added to training to make up numbers. Hopefully that’s the only change we need to deal with as we entertain Spurs, who have won at the Bridge just once since 1990.

Chelsea will face their first big test of the 2022/23 season when they play hosts to London rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Sunday.

It promises to be a closely fought encounter at Stamford Bridge, but Antonio Conte’s men could pull off a huge win in what could be a six-pointer early into the season. Kane needs two goals to break Sergio Aguero’s record of most Premier League goals for a single club ( 184 for Manchester City), and he will be eager to topple that record on Sunday. The attacking line pretty much picks itself as Dejan Kulusevski, who was crucial in the win against Southampton, and Son Heung-min lining up out wide and looking to stretch the Chelsea backline with their pace and movement. Emerson Royal and Ryan Sessegnon will line up as the two wing-backs and will be in for an interesting duel against their Chelsea counterparts on Sunday. While Spurs showed that they can still produce the goods without Harry Kane firing on all cylinders, they need him at his best if they are to emerge as genuine contenders for the Premier League title. A victory for either team in this high-profile encounter would send out an early message about their title credentials to the rest of their rivals.

Green has scrutinized the Chelsea vs. Tottenham match from every angle, and he is leaning Under on the goal total. And Koulibaly is still acclimating to his new teammates in the middle, and the Blues lost both Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen in the offseason.

Chelsea continue their 2022/2023 Premier League campaign by welcoming former boss Antonio Conte and Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge in a London derby.

London rivals Chelsea and Tottenham face each other at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon, so we simulated the clash to try and predict the outcome.

With Ben Davies on his back and no option to cut inside, Mount fired an effort past Lloris at his near post, winning the game for his side with the final chance of the match. Chelsea could just narrowly edge past rivals Spurs on Sunday afternoon, with a late goal sealing the contest. Conte's side had been limited to shots all game with Chelsea controlling possession, but their threat in attack took advantage of their one chance. It was Chelsea's game to lose, with Thomas Tuchel's side in full control and keeping the dangerous Spurs attack at bay. Spurs sat deep to try and absorb the pressure, but their tactics failed as Chelsea took the lead just before the break. To complete this simulation, we used FIFA 22 and updated the squads with the latest transfers.

If Tottenham's last goal against Chelsea was a long time ago, their last win in 90 minutes feels as though it happened in another lifetime. Not since a 1-0 ...

And unlike Conte, he hasn’t yet managed to find the magic formula up front as he approaches a century of games in charge. In that respect, they are the anti-Manchester City and an early acid test for Conte’s contenders. He has left RB Leipzig, won the competition with Chelsea and returned, in the intervening period. And Daniel Levy has sanctioned a summer spree that has strengthened the squad considerably. Not since a 1-0 victory in January 2019 have Spurs beaten Chelsea in normal time, a sequence that spans 11 matches. You could have watched the entirety of All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur followed by the Son Heung-min documentary Sonsational and had time to spare since Spurs’ last goal against the Blues.

Chelsea hosts Tottenham on Sunday in one of the Premier League's biggest early matches, here is the complete betting guide for the contest.

My first two picks are under 1.5 first-half goals (-250) and both teams to not score (+110). I struggled to find a third wager with solid value, so I decided to supplement betting on the first half goals total with Tottenham under 0.5 goals in the first 45’ at -170 odds. I’m not sure which London club will be held off the scoresheet and I wouldn’t even be shocked to see a 0-0 draw, as I want to reiterate my belief that there won’t be much entertainment value. My only concern with this week’s picks is that they are all contingent on the match being low-scoring. In fact, both sides have failed to find the back of the net in this match-up since September 2020 when Spurs advanced past the Blues in the League Cup on penalties. Each defense is incredibly disciplined and neither will want to make the first mistake. The latter’s revolution at Spurs is already in full devastating effect, as evidenced by clips of his players vomiting on the pitch at a public training session in South Korea. Tottenham did good business early in the window before thrashing Southampton 4-1 last weekend without a single new signing in the XI. Tuchel’s side dispatched Spurs three times in less than 20 days last season though, so perhaps the German genius just has Conte figured out.

In the 2nd week of EPL action, Chelsea (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Tottenham (1-0-0) to Stamford Bridge Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET.

Considering each team’s strength, I’d play the Under 2.5 (-112) here. I expect a similar showing from the Blues in this battle. Man City and Chelsea have the 2 most complete rosters in the league. Also, Tottenham may have won 4-1 last week, but there were just 2.0 expected goals.

Chelsea targeting Frenkie de Jong, Wesley Fofana and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang transfers to boost squad; London rivals Tottenham visit Stamford Bridge this ...

The feeling for Tottenham going to Stamford Bridge is a bad one. The manager has the players in he wants and they're going to be a real force this season make no mistake. I think this is going to be a really cagey game. Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane didn't score at the weekend and will want a piece of the action, Dejan Kulusevski has been a really good signing... I wouldn't like to say they could go for the title just yet, but they'll certainly go close and I'd be amazed if they don't get a trophy. As a stop-gap for a year, it probably wouldn't be the worst signing. It feels like he wants to come to London and isn't too keen on going to Manchester. Whoever gets him, he's a game changer for them. They will play it in a very clever way. That's credit to Conte and also to chairman Daniel Levy for giving him what he wants. The players they've signed, they're not typical signings for Tottenham because they're ready to win right now and normally Tottenham buy for the future. They spent big money on Marc Cucurella - too much in my opinion but he's still a really, really good player. That hasn't always been the case with previous managers and they look incredibly strong.

Now, from the happy vantage point of August 2022, it feels like a very different time for him and the club. It’s possible that De Jong’s arrival would not actually add to the midfield logjam; Juventus are still credited with an interest in Jorginho, who is entering the final year of his current contract at Stamford Bridge with no sign yet of a possible extension. Tuchel ended last season with a switch to a back four formation prominent in his mind but, with the 2022-23 campaign now under way, there is no sign of the shift being made soon. I can be surprised for the short time that we needed to do this.” The other three encounters have all come during Conte's time at Spurs and, as mentioned earlier, his side have been well and truly dominated. The Old Lady managed a draw in the clash in West London before a comfortable 3-0 win followed a couple of months later in Turin. Today, a full house will be expected for their opening home fixture of the 2022-23 Premier League season. The last time Chelsea hosted a Premier League game, Stamford Bridge looked half empty to those watching on television. The earlier start to the Premier League will not have been welcomed by Tuchel as he still feels his squad is light for the arduous campaign ahead. Arsenal and Manchester City made light work of Leicester and Bournemouth respectively in the 3pm starts while Southampton & Leeds, Brighton & Newcastle and Wolves & Fulham played out draws. The Spurs boss and his opposite number today are both advocates of using wide defenders that become midfielders and attackers in possession. I can't, for the life of me, understand why there are a handful of Chelsea players wearing either long-sleeved training shirts or compression layers in this intense heat!

Meanwhile, Chelsea have gone through a myriad of changes that included new ownership. The match thread rules are the same as always. They didn’t look their best against Everton in Matchday One, but it was still good enough to dispatch the hapless Toffees. Spurs faced them at the absolute worst times: When Nunoball was already failing and then when Antonio Conte was still figuring out the squad in January.

Musing self-reflectively on how that furrow he carved for so long up & down the right channel, is now increasingly etched upon his forehead.” The rise in media trained footballers using the phrase “Like I just said” during post-match interviews featured prominently in the song. 90+3 min Carragher gives James player of the match, and I can’t argue with that. YES WE ARE! Conte and Tuchel shake hands, I think Conte gives Tuchel the old squeeze and both men flare up!

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel and his Spurs counterpart Antonio Conte, a former Chelsea boss, were both shown red cards after the final whistle as tempers boiled over on a sweltering afternoon in west London. Centre back Kalidou Koulibaly marked his home debut in style by volleying Chelsea in front from a corner in the 19th minute and the hosts totally dominated the opening period. Chelsea remained in the ascendancy in the second half and should have had the points wrapped up but were rocked when Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equalised in the 68th minute.

Oliver Skipp should be back in training in a few weeks before hopefully being able to contribute again. While must win games don't really exist unless it's a knockout competition or the final few weeks of the season, this is certainly a match that has a lot of weight to it. Spurs will feel better heading into the match as Chelsea have struggled to score without a proper number nine but that won't matter if they can't get past new defensive recruit Kalidou Koulibaly. He was everywhere aganst Everton, rarely out of position while showing what his experience brings next to Thiago Silva. Both teams opened their season with wins although Spurs' 4-1 victory over Southampton was a little flashier than Chelsea grinding out a 1-0 victory over Everton. But at this range of the table, the most important thing is getting three points.

He might be seen as Todd Boehly’s fixer on the pitch, a man to get a job done. Koulibaly stuck his chest out and threw himself into the fight. Thus as well as displaying the solidity of a Himalayan rock formation you fancy he could bend metal if he stared at it long enough. Raheem Sterling and Marc Cucurella also made their home debuts. Compared to last season we did a bit better.” Conte’s men were behind again within nine minutes, though, Dejan Kulusevski outmuscled by N’Golo Kante before Raheem Sterling played a perfectly weighted pass to Reece James for Chelsea’s second.

It was a hectic match where even the managers got into it with both seeing red.

Spurs tracked Raheem Sterling well in the middle as he was shadowed by Emerson Royal until his assist, but none of the Chelsea front three did enough to win the match. The influx of depth during the summer has allowed Conte to tinker to change a match, and on Sunday it was the difference between one point and no points. Tuchel wanted the goal called back due to a foul on Kai Havertz but due to it being a different phase of play, the goal stood. Quite a way for him to open his Chelsea scoring account but he also made four tackles and had seven recoveries. Chelsea saw Marc Cucurella mark his full debut with an assist to Koulibaly on the opening goal in the first half and then they managed the game for 60 minutes, not allowing Spurs to get as much as a corner kick during the time period. It was a grueling, heated battle at Stamford Bridge that saw the points shared in a 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Tottenham on Sunday. Goals for Chelsea from Kalidou Koulibaly and Reece James were canceled out by Pierre-Emile Hojbejerg and Harry Kane, with the English striker delivering a header goal in the final minute.

“There is a difference between Chelsea and Tottenham but we are here to reduce this gap. “The difference is clear. I’m surprised that we both got a red card for that.” But Harry Kane’s 96th minute equaliser meant Conte had the last laugh. “It was a clear foul on Kai Havertz. Ok, the situation goes on and on and on, then it is a clear offside,” added Tuchel. “It was hot from the temperature and hot between the benches and hot on the field and hot between the spectators,” said Tuchel with temperatures soaring above 30 degrees Celsius in the English capital.

"I don't want to comment on the [Tuchel] situation, this is not the most important thing. "Chelsea showed they are a really good team. Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte: "My opinion is it's better to talk about the game. But a lot of things were not necessary. He was happy when they equalised, and it got a bit heated but nothing big. Seconds later, Kane passed up a glorious opportunity to equalise, scuffing wide after evading the offside trap.

The tense confrontation between Premier League foes Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte drew comparisons to 2016's "Battle of the Bridge."

Recent history has seen Chelsea get the upper hand over Tottenham, with nine victories to just three losses and two draws in head-to-head matchups since Chelsea fired Conte as its manager in 2018. The tension between the two managers had been bubbling even before Kane’s goal, though, as Conte met Tuchel chest-to-chest in the 68th minute while celebrating Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg’s initial equalizer. When asked if Tuchel was the aggressor, Conte said.

Chelsea and Tottenham produced plenty of drama in their 2-2 draw in the Premier League on Sunday but the best action arguably came from their two managers.
