What’s a realistic finish for Tottenham following Crystal Palace humbling?
By John Wozniak
Tottenham plays Rennes on Thursday before heading home for the first of two London derbies against, Chelsea and Arsenal.
On Sunday, Spurs host Chelsea, a team full of confidence and talent from one to 22. Unlike Tottenham, Chelsea aren’t goal-shy.
On matchday 4, The European Champions brushed Aston Villa aside in a 3-0 win at Stamford Bridge. Romelu Lukaku’s exuberant transfer fee looks value for money at the moment – he marked his return to Stamford Bridge with a brace.
Thomas Tuchel is a man in a confident mood also. Chelsea have the measure of Spurs in the Premier League, winning 31 of their 58 encounters.
The Blues will cruise to victory if Tottenham doesn’t pick up the tempo, and play to their strengths. The odds aren’t favourable for Santo. Chelsea have won four of their last five meetings, drawing the other.
A trip to Molineux, in the League Cup, allows Santo the opportunity to give his fringe players 90 minutes against his former club.
