Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to Wembley Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, and we at Accumulator Tips have a preview on this weekend’s meeting between last season’s title challengers.

Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur side enjoyed a perfect start to the new Premier League season, beating Newcastle United 2-0 at St James’ Park in their opener. The Londoners could finish the weekend top of the table if results go their way and will fancy their chances of a win given Chelsea’s woes at the start of the season.

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side endured a disappointing start to the new season, suffering a 3-2 home defeat to Burnley last week, and have a number of key players out for this weekend’s clash which might prove telling in the result. The defending champions had a poor summer too, suffering four consecutive defeats in all competitions, and might come unstuck to Spurs as a result.

Tottenham are currently fourth in the Premier League table after beating Newcastle, while Chelsea find themselves 14th. A win for the hosts could see them go top of the pile and Chelsea propping up the table on gameweek two. With Spurs boasting two wins and two draws from their last four home meetings with the Blues, they could well get a result.

Chelsea will be desperate to put last week’s defeat behind them, but they’ll be without a number of first-team players and are still dealing with the off-field problems that has disrupted their summer. Tottenham are likely to capitalise, especially given Chelsea’s last trip to Wembley saw them beaten by Arsenal. A Community Shield loss and defeat in their league opener sees the Premier League defending champions as underdogs this weekend.
