Spurs continue to be at the top of standings. After ten rounds Tottenham have 21 earned points. Liverpool have the same number, but because of the better additional indicators the Londoners are higher. In the last round Jose Mourinho’s charges also met in a derby with Chelsea. Both teams played reliably in defense, ending the match with a goalless draw. Thus, Tottenham’s unbeaten streak has already reached nine matches in a row, five of which the Londoners have won. We must say that compared to the beginning of the season, the Spurs added reliability in defense. Tottanham have conceded only once in five previous rounds. So far, Mourinho’s wards are performing a little better on the road in the current championship. At home the team lost more points. Tottenham suffered their only defeat in the current championship in a home match against Everton (0:1). They also failed to defeat Newcastle (1:1) and West Ham (3:3). Although in the last two meetings the Spurs returned to the victorious path in their home arena and beat first Brighton (2:1) and then Manchester City (2:0). Erik Lamela will definitely not play in the match. Harri Kane, Sergio Regilon, Toby Alderweireld and Carlos Vinicius Moraish are injured.
The club from the city of the same name is doing more modestly, because so far the team is far from Chelsea’s level, but there are also many positive moments. It is worth noting that the team returned to the Premier League and has already made a splash. Head coach Marcelo Bielsa is a power football that brings results. “Peacocks” are fighting for a place in the top 10 and as a beginner this is a good indicator, especially, if we also take into account the fact that the team is already eight points ahead of the relegation zone. Leeds visited Goodison Park in the last meeting and made the most of their clash against Everton. Many experts agreed that guests had no particular chances of winning, but Rafinje had completely different plans, as the 24-year-old Brazilian scored the winning goal in the 79th minute (1:0). The whites understand that in their situation every point is worth its weight in gold, so they tune in to every match as the last fight, but Chelsea is a top club. According to guests, they will have to show their best football in order to claim at least a draw.
