Chelsea will be hoping to continue their perfect start to the 2022/23 Premier League campaign when they welcome London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge this afternoon.
Thomas Tuchel's side were able to clinch all three points last Saturday against Everton at Goodison Park thanks to a first-half penalty from Italian central midfielder Jorginho. Meanwhile, Spurs also secured a victory, beating Southampton 4-1 despite going 1-0 down during the opening exchanges in N17.
Chelsea will be confident going into today's clash considering their excellent recent record against the Lilywhites, winning all of the last five encounters across all competitions. Still, Tuchel will be without Croatian international Mateo Kovacic, who is currently sidelined with a knee problem whilst Marcos Alonso will also miss out as he looks to leave for Catalan giants Barcelona in the coming days.
