EPL: Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Prematch Preview And Prediction 14/08/2022

Both sides won their first game, with Chelsea edging out Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park and Tottenham thrashing Southampton 4-1 on home soil.

Chelsea only managed to score one goal. Deep into first-half stoppage-time, Jorginho converted a penalty to hand his side all three points. Thanks to a solid end to the previous campaign, Thomas Tuchel’s men have lost just five of their last 33 Premier League games.

Chelsea have scored in each of their past 16 home games in the Premier League, meaning they should find the back of the net on Sunday.

Tottenham thrashed Southampton 4-1 on the opening weekend. Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier and Dejan Kulusevski scored, in addition to an own goal from Mohammed Salisu. They enjoyed 58% of the ball last time out, chalking up 18 shots in the process. The Saints, on the other hand, managed just two attempts on target.

Tottenham avoided defeat in each of their final six league games last term, meaning they head into Matchday 2 on a seven-game unbeaten streak.

Head-To-Head: It is worth pointing out that Spurs have only managed to win seven of their last 44 Premier League meetings with Chelsea. The Blues have avoided defeat in each of their previous seven league games against Tottenham, securing six wins and one draw.

Team News: Chelsea are the only Premier League side without any injury concerns at the moment. Marc Cucurella could make his full debut for the club after joining from Brighton. As for Tottenham, they will be without injured midfielder Oliver Skipp on Sunday. Richarlison could feature for the first time following his move from Everton.

PREDICTION: TOTTENHAM TO SCORE OVER 1.5 MATCH GOALS.
