Yahoo Sports Tottenham vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news
Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea in a huge London derby this weekend, looking to address a poor run of form.
Ange Postecoglou was involved in a heated exchange with supporters following the midweek defeat at Bournemouth, a result that leaves Spurs in the bottom half. With a seven-point gap to the top four, the pressure is on Postecoglou to turn his side’s fortunes around.
Spurs have been plagued by inconsistency, though a strong ‘big game’ record offers encouragement ahead of Chelsea’s visit to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Having already beaten Manchester United, Aston Villa and Manchester City this season, Postecoglou will hope Spurs can show those levels again this weekend.
