Chelsea welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon in the first big London derby of the 2022/23 Premier League season.
Spurs kickstarted their campaign with a convincing 4-1 victory over Southampton last weekend as Eric Dier, Dejan Kulusevski and Ryan Sessegnon all opened their respective goalscoring accounts for the year. The Blues also recorded three points at the first time of asking, overcoming Frank Lampard's Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park thanks to a first-half penalty from central midfielder Jorginho.
Thomas Tuchel's side enjoyed a perfect record over the Lilywhites last season, beating them home and away in the league as well as the Carabao Cup but former Chelsea frontman Chris Sutton has backed Antonio Conte and Co to come out on top this time around. Writing for the BBC, Sutton said: "Chelsea love playing Spurs - they beat them four times last season, and Tottenham have only beaten them once in the league at Stamford Bridge since February 1990.
