Chelsea have won five of their six Premier League games against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium [L1], earning more victories at the ground than any other visiting side.

Anselmino feels like the kind of player who’ll explode under Maresca’s system. That comfort on the ball + wide defending = perfect RCB profile for modern build-up play. Chelsea’s defensive future low-key looks elite.

Replacement of Fofana for sure.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Gusto shifts into midfield again, similar to the Liverpool game. Maresca will likely want to match Tottenham’s midfield intensity, especially with Sarr and Bentancur pressing aggressively.

By inverting Gusto, Chelsea can gain control in the central areas and avoid being outnumbered. It also allows him to closely track Sarr’s inside runs while giving more freedom to the wide attackers.

25 minutes gone and you can already see the pattern of the game. We need more attacking threat on the pitch.

Caicedo first assist of the season, 4 G/A in 10 games.

Joao Pedro needed that as he hadn't scored in 10 games previously.

Your honest thoughts on our first half performance 👇

Chelsea are unbeaten in their last nine Premier League meetings with Tottenham when scoring first (W8 D1). 🔵

The days of getting bullied all over the pitch are gone. Our physicality and intensity, especially in midfield, are on another level. Watching these boys go toe-to-toe with a strong Tottenham midfield is just marvelous. 💪

We honestly owe Brighton an extra £100M just for Caicedo alone. 👏

People forget how crucial physicality and intensity are in modern football. It’s not always about being the most technical, it’s about dominating the duels and sustaining that tempo. Caicedo, Enzo, Gusto, Cucurella, James, Neto… we’re blessed. 🔵🔥

3/4 big chances missed.

DO NOT BOTTLE IT!
