Chelsea may have lost 0-2 at home against the Red Devils but the game against Tottenham would be a different Kettle of fish.
While Chelsea is seeking redemption in the Premier League in reference to the aforementioned defeat Tottenham desires the same as they lost 0-1 to German side RB Leipzig in the Champions League during midweek.
Both managers would not be taking this game easy as the destiny of their season seems to depend on this match. A win for any of this side will present an undue advantage in the race for the top four more for Chelsea who is already a point ahead in the race.
Can the Blues strike a chord against Spurs with a win at home? This answer may be unpredictable owing to Chelsea’s inconsistency at home despite the obvious home advantage they’ve got ahead of the fixture.
Jose Mourinho would be aiming to avoid defeat and could back the bus while playing away from home. Defeat for any side in this fixture will be menacing to their season ambitions. This is more the case for Chelsea who plays at home as two consecutive home defeat to the Red Devils and maybe against Tottenham will be unacceptable by Chelsea’s standard.
Lampard must find a way to navigate this fixture against Jose Mourinho who is tactically astute as we have seen in the past years. The Blues will do themselves harm to play below their best as Spurs have been rejuvenated following strings of fine performance they’ve had in recent games.
They’ve beaten Manchester City 2-0 at home with Jose Mourinho laughing in an uncharacteristic manner as the gaffer outlined his desire to get Tottenham back to the top. He’s made a massive impression at Wembley Stadium for Tottenham Hotspur and they would be motivated to scrap the unconvincing Chelsea side at home.
Spurs is capable to record a win as well as Chelsea but the pendulum direction is what the 90 minutes can define as we await a blockbuster encounter between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
