Chelsea will be aiming to recover when they travel to face Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. The match could see the Blues move level on points with their London rivals if they can find the right response after last weekend's shock 2-1 defeat to Sunderland , as reported by Softfootball . Tottenham, who defeated Everton 3-0 in their last Premier League outing, are still struggling to rediscover consistency at home, having gone three league games without a win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has asked for more precision from his attackers despite being one of the league's highest-scoring teams after nine rounds. Spurs started this round sitting third on the table, and a victory could take them into second position before Bournemouth's clash with Manchester City on Sunday. Their strong away record has carried them this far, but Frank will surely want his side to turn their home form around sooner rather than later.
Chelsea have been unpredictable under Enzo Maresca this season. They won 4-3 against Wolves in a wild Carabao Cup tie earlier in the week , as reported by Softfootball , but the defensive lapses and poor discipline were clear once again. Maresca criticised Liam Delap's red card, calling it 'stupid and embarrassing," and said he expects more control from his players. The Italian coach will know this is another big test for his young team.
