Tottenham Hotspur

Last updated: Thu 13 January 2022 10:47
In Brief

A rotated Spurs side progressed to the FA Cup fourth round with 3-1 comeback win over Morecambe on Sunday. Missing the injured Steven Bergwijn, Eric Dier, Heung-Min Son and Cristian Romero.

Looking Back

They have significantly improved under new coach Antonio Conte. They have registered eight wins, three draws and two defeats in his 13 games in charge.

Tottenham are unbeaten in their last eight Premier League games (5W, 3D). Conte is the first manager in the history of the team to go unbeaten in their opening eight EPL games.

Looking Ahead

Starting centre-back Romero will miss out again through hamstring injury. Has missed the last 11 duels. Davinson Sanchez is covering for him.

Sometimes starting winger Bergwijn is out through injury.

Big blow, as starting forward Son is out injured. Dele Alli could fill in.

Starting centre-back Dier is sidelined too. Spurs could start with Japhet Tanganga, Davinson Sanchez and Ben Davies at the back.

Big local derby against Chelsea. Spurs haven't won any of their last 10 games against the Blues (3D, 7L).

Points of Interest

Chelsea grabbed a comfortable 2-0 home win in the first leg of the League Cup between the two teams.

Chelsea

Last updated: Thu 13 January 2022 10:47
In Brief

Progressed to the FA Cup fourth round with comfortable 5-1 win over Chesterfield on Saturday. Missing the injured Trevoh Chalobah, Reece James and Ben Chilwell. Late call to be made on N'Golo Kante and Thiago Silva. Edouard Mendy is away at AFCON.

Looking Back

Currently sitting second in the Premier League table (12W, 7D, 2L). Second best defence in the EPL. Have conceded 16 goals.

Grabbed two confidence-boosting victories against Tottenham and Chesterfield after drawing two home games in a row.

Looking Ahead

In-form wingback Chilwell will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. Big blow as Marcos Alonso is covering for him, but Chilwell was one of Chelsea's top performers this season.

Starting right wingback James is out through injury. Hakim Ziyech played at right wingback against Chesterfield.

Starting keeper Mendy is away at the AFCON. Huge blow, as he's been one of Chelsea's top performers. Kepa will cover for him.

Sometimes starting centre-back Chalobah is out through injury.

Late decision to be made on starting centre-back Silva and starting midfielder Kante, both of whom were sidelined due to COVID-19. Mateo Kovacic and Cesar Azpilicueta could fill in.

Big local derby against Tottenham. Chelsea haven't lost any of their last 10 games against the Spurs (7W, 3D).

Points of Interest

Chelsea comfortably beat Tottenham 2-0 on home soil in the first leg of the tie.
