Thomas Tuchel has made two changes to his Chelsea side for this afternoon’s Premier League clash against Tottenham - and it appears there has been a tweak to the Blues’ system too.
Tottenham’s record at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League is dismal; Spurs have come away with victory just once in 30 games. Yet Antonio Conte is a difference maker. Chelsea supporters know firsthand the coaching ability of the Italian. It was Conte who guided the Blues to the Premier League title in 2017 just a year after the shambolic 2015/16 campaign.
So today’s clash in baking hot west London will not be simple for Chelsea, which is perhaps why Tuchel has shaken things up in terms of personnel and system.
