Tottenham is set to host Chelsea this Saturday for a crucial match in the Premier League. Currently, Tottenham sits third with 17 points from nine matches, while Chelsea is in ninth place with 14 points. This London derby could significantly impact both teams’ seasons. After their opening win against Burnley, Tottenham has experienced setbacks with home losses to Bournemouth and Aston Villa, and a draw against Wolves could have been a defeat if not for a last-minute equalizer.
In his pre-match comments, coach Thomas Frank praised Chelsea’s Enzo Fernandez: “Enzo’s done an amazing job at Chelsea. First season, qualifying for the Champions League and won the Conference League, so competing in definitely more than one front. Won the Club World Cup and had a decent start to the season, very impressive.”
