Tottenham host London rivals Chelsea in the Premier League this evening with the hopes of maintain their fantastic start to the new season.
Spurs have been in great form under boss, Ange Postecoglu, and are unbeaten across their 10 league matches so far. They are proving to be Manchester City’s closest rivals for the title at this stage and will regain top spot in the table should they defeat the Blues tonight.
Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, returns to north London to face his old club and although the Blues have stumbled in the early stages of his tenure at Stamford Bridge, including losing at home to Brentford last time out, he will want his side to impress.
They gained some much-needed confidence last week with a win over Blackburn in the Carabao Cup but Spurs will be well rested following their most recent win at Crystal Palace.

48 mins: A simple flick in behind Tottenham’s high line sees Nicolas Jackson almost played in on goal. He sprints towards it but Guglielmo Vicario is rapidly out of his box and boots the ball clear.
The Blue come again and send the ball into Cole Palmer. He shoots from the edge of the box and whips a decent effort wide of the far post.

Mauricio Pochettino makes a change at the break with Marc Cucurella coming on to replace Levi Colwill for Chelsea. Tottenham get the match back underway.
If it is half as entertaining as the first half we’re all in for a treat.

The first half saw two goals given, three disallowed, a player sent off and 12 minutes worth of VAR checks. What will the second 45 minutes bring?

Since the start of 2021-22, Cristian Romero has been sent off four times in all competitions for Tottenham, more than any other Premier League player.

45+12 mins: The whistle finally goes to end this tumultuous first 45 minutes. There have been so many incidents involving VAR that the officials are earning their money tonight.
In the end though, the game remains level at 1-1.
All to play for in the second half.

45+9 mins: What has gone on here? Levi Colwill is unhappy about something and there’s a bit of argy bargy deep in Spurs’ half. Pape Matar Sarr and Colwill are booked after a clash before Nicolas Jackson joins them in the book for a foul.

45+6 mins: Eric Dier nods the ball out of play and gifts a corner to Chelsea. It’s played short before Palmer delivers a cross into the box that is easily cleared away.
Spurs are hanging on and trying to get to half-time. They need to regroup. Pedro Porro fires a cross into the Chelsea box and almost finds Kulusevski who flings himself at the ball but can’t quite reach it.

45+3 mins: After the perfect start, this half has turned into a nightmare for Tottenham. They opened the scoring and had a goal disallowed before imploding.
Cristian Romero was sent off, Destiny Udogie is lucky to still be on the pitch. Chelsea have equalised but Spurs have lot Micky van de Ven and James Maddison to injury.
Chelsea are in control of the match now.

45 mins: There’s going to be 12 minutes of added time to play at the end of the first half.
Ange Postecoglou rings in the changes. Brennan Johnson had previously been taken off for Eric Dier to fill the hole in defence left by Cristian Romero’s dismissal.
Emerson Royal now replaces the injured Van de Ven and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is introduced to replace James Maddison.
