Tottenham Hotspur Vs Chelsea: Match Preview, Team News and Stats
Jose Mourinho and Thomas Tuchel face off in the dugout for the first time ever as Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea to North London for a tantalising capital derby on Thursday evening.
Hardly anything can separate the teams in the table ahead of this London derby, with sixth-placed Spurs - who have a game in hand - and seventh-placed Chelsea both boasting 33 points.
On an individual level, Mourinho could set a couple of unwanted records with a less-than-satisfactory result this week. The Portuguese boss has never lost successive home matches in the Premier League, and having failed to come up trumps against Chelsea in his last six attempts, he could match his longest ever winless run against an opponent - seven versus Barcelona between April 2011 and January 2012.
Despite failing to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five matches across all competitions, only Man City (13) and Arsenal (20) have shipped fewer top-flight goals than Tottenham (21) this term, but with only two wins from their previous nine in the Premier League, the hosts must find an effective solution to Kane’s absence, and fast.
However, the true test of character begins now for Tuchel, as he gears up for his first away outing with Chelsea, who lost four of their last five on the road under Lampard before the club legend was controversially sacked.
As is the case with Tottenham, Chelsea have already secured nine wins and played out six draws in the 2020-21 Premier League campaign, but an added defeat as well as an inferior goal difference means that they sit behind their London rivals ahead of this game, and the chasing pack are not too far behind either.
While the records that Mourinho could set this season are not ones to boast about, Tuchel could become the first Chelsea boss since 2004 to keep clean sheets in his first three matches in charge - a feat which was last achieved by the ever-controversial Mourinho.
