This Sunday, Chelsea and Tottenham face each other for the second round of the Premier League. The ball will roll to 12:30 (Brasília time) for the London classic at Stamford Bridge.
After debuting with a win, Chelsea is now looking for a second triumph and will have a packed stadium in their favour. Chilwell, recovering from a knee injury, is expected to be out.
The home team comes to this 2 nd round after a (0‑1) win in the debut, against Everton. This is a team that curiously has been stronger away than at home, as in the last 30 games it has recorded 11 wins, three draws and one defeat as a visitor; against six wins, six draws and three defeats in their stadium. In the last 10 home matches Chelsea has recorded four wins, two draws and four defeats. Defensive solidity hasn’t been a strong point, as they have conceded goals in seven of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in eight of the last 10 matches.
On the other hand, Tottenham comes with a rout and now wants to win the classic to show that they are coming strong in the fight for the title. The trend is for coach Antonio Conte to keep the lineup from the first game, as he has no problems with the squad. The Brazilian Richarlison, who served suspension, can make his debut.
The away team comes to this 2 nd round after a (4‑1) win in the debut, against Southampton. Tottenham is a team little affected by the home factor, that is, it presents similar results at home and away, since in the last 30 games it has recorded eight wins, three draws and four defeats as a visitor, with a total of 27 goals scored and 14 conceded. . At home, they won nine victories, one draw and five defeats, with a total of 33 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 games as a visitor, Tottenham have won five, drawn two and lost three.
