Tottenham Hotspur are looking to continue their perfect start to the 2022/23 Premier League campaign when they travel to west London to take on Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.
Spurs enjoyed an excellent opening 90 minutes of the season last Saturday, recording a convincing 4-1 victory against Southampton thanks to goals from Ryan Sessegnon, Eric Dier, Dejan Kulusevski and an own goal from Saints star Mohammed Salisu. However, today's trip to Stamford Bridge will be far from easy when you consider that the Lilywhites have won just once away to the Blues in their last 37 attempts.
Still, if there's anyone who can help end their Chelsea hoodoo, it is Tottenham boss Antonio Conte, who guided the north Londoners to a top-four finish last season, pipping local rivals Arsenal in the process. Ahead of the highly-anticipated match, Conte confirmed that summer signing Clement Lenglet will miss the trip to the Bridge with a slight injury problem.

Speaking ahead of the match, the Italian said: "About my injuries, a little problem with Clement Lenglet. I don't think he is available for the game against Chelsea or for sure the next game against Wolverhampton [Wanderers].
"He had a little problem, and then (Oliver) Skipp needs a couple of weeks before being available. All the other players are good."
Elsewhere, tough-tackling midfielder Yves Bissouma will be hoping to make his first official start for Spurs, having to settle for a place on the bench last week as Conte preferred Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in his midfield pivot instead. With that being said, football.london has taken a look at the full squad that Conte will have at his disposal
Goalkeepers: Hugo Lloris, Fraser Forster, Brandon Austin.
Defenders: Cristian Romero, Ryan Sessegnon, Ben Davies, Eric Dier, Davinson Sanchez, Ivan Perisic, Emerson Royal, Djed Spence, Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon.
Midfielders: Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Bryan Gil, Rodrigo Bentancur, Yves Bissouma, Harry Winks.
Forwards: Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Richarlison, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Moura.
