Chelsea vs Tottenham Predictions
Last Saturday, Chelsea defeated Everton 1-0 thanks to a Jorginho penalty kick that broke their Goodison Park losing streak. The Blues haven't given up a goal to Spurs since September 2020 and won all four of their encounters with them last season.
But in last weekend's 4-1 victory over Southampton, Spurs were outstanding. Despite the fact that it is impossible to read too much into that win, it is a much-needed morale booster in front of Sunday's London derby.
In the second round of games, this is a crucial six-point opportunity, and in what is predicted to be a heated Stamford Bridge, the spoils may be split.
Prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham
