please log in to view this image Monday 6th November 8pm Premier League Tottenham Hotspur Stadium Ben Davies joins Perisic, Solomon, Sessegnon and Whiteman on the treatment table. Destiny Udogie is also 50/50, so we may see Emerson starting at left-back. Neither side has any suspensions. Lineups for each side's last league game: Spurs: Vicario; Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Davies; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison. Subs: Forster, Emerson, Dier, Skipp, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Gil, Johnson. League form: WDWWWW. Chelsea: Sanchez; Disasi, Silva, Colwill, Cucurella; Gallagher, Caicedo, Madueke, Palmer, Sterling, Jackson. Subs: Beach, Petrovic, Gusto, James, Badiashile, Maatsen, Ugochukwu, Matos, Washington. League form: DLWWDL. Ref: Michael ****ing Oliver. VAR: John Brooks. TV: Sky Sports. How would you like to line up for this one and how do you think we actually will line up?
As strong as possible, hopefully Udogie will be fit ,be respectful to Poch but no guard of honour and turn this lot over, remember the hatred they have shown us over the years
Yeah really hope Udogie can play in this one but equally I’d rather we be careful with him and not potentially aggravate anything further. Emerson as a defender is solid enough but his technical ability stifles anything positive. Be great if Johnson could start after his impact vs Palace but I have a feeling Ange will stick with the pigeon for this. Bentancur (and Gil!) will have had another week of training though so could be good for 10-15+ minutes which will be great.
Putting him on the left just exacerbates that weakness. I hope I'm wrong, but if I was Poch I would be looking to target that side.
Spurs are the only unbeaten team in PL 2023-24. The return of Pochettino. The #2 vermin club as opponents, and in weak form. This one has < standard > written all over it.
I hate this fixture so much. I know Arsenal is the real Derby, but for me, losing to Chelsea is equally as bad. I respect Arsenal as a club, but have no respect for Chelsea. Their fans are the worst as well. Horrible club, horrible fans. It would put down such a marker if we were to win this game but I just can’t see it. Years of being a spurs fan tells me this is exactly the kind of match that we will lose. I really hope to be proved wrong though!!
This game had disaster written all over it. poch back at the lane in charge of Chelsea. Chelsea generally looking quite poor. Spurs v Chelsea often ending in a bad result for us Spurs undefeated. Can see the headlines already. #GettingTheRCL’sInEarly
I may bet on Chelsea to win to try and help manage my mood later, in case the worst happens. I’ve lost quite a bit of money this season doing this, and long may it continue!!
This feels like an enormous game tonight psychologically. Pochettino’s shadow has hung over the club ever since he was ushered out the door and combining his return with the visit of Chelsea of all teams makes for a big one. The away NLD felt like a big step for the team in terms of getting a result there that felt positive even though it wasn’t a win. But a win today would feel significant on so many levels.
This is never a fixture that I look forward to, whilst our record against them is not as bad recently as it was in the 90s and 00s its still fairly ropey and with the Poch factor in this game too, it is filling me with dread. I think it will be a good game and there will be goals as both sides will create chances. I am worried about the left side if Destiny is missing, if we have Emerson and Richarlison on the left and they have James and Sterling on the right I can see them getting a lot of joy down that side. Looking on the bright side we have got a point at the emirates and beaten Liverpool and Man Utd so hopefully we can keep these results coming, but I am not optimistic. COYS
We are due a loss but I sodding hope it’s not to Chelsea tonight. Looking at current form, it’s a game we should be winning but form goes out of the window with certain teams against Spurs. It’s like a badge of honour for the likes of Chelsea to beat spurs at home. It grates on Man City that they can’t score at spurs and likewise for Chelsea, they just hate losing against us. Despite this, I’m going for a 2-1 win for Spurs tonight. I think we’ll just manage to raise our game to remain unbeaten.
Chelsea are struggling for a reason so you should win this fairly comfortably.. they don't score and leak goals.
