With Tottenham Hotspur putting in two poor performances against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea side in our EFL Cup semi-final defeat earlier on this month, no doubt manager Antonio Conte would love a dose of revenge as we make the trip to Stamford Bridge this coming Sunday.
Confidence and spirits should’ve been massively boosted given the dominance we showed over Leicester City in midweek, particularly the euphoria that would’ve come from the manner of our late victory with Steven Bergwijn’s Stoppage time brace.
Covid permitting, Chelsea should only be without Reece James (injury), Trevoh Chalobah (injury), Edouard Mendy (AFCON), Andreas Christensen (Covid) and Ben Chilwell.
Spurs’ own injury situation has eased with the players who have now returned, and it shouldn’t be too long before we have Son Heung-Min, Eric Dier and Cristian Romero back in contention either.
What Sunday actually brings though is open to debate. More recently in the league we edge ahead in the form guide for the last five and Chelsea have struggled, but whether we’ll perform in a way that sees us take advantage will only be truly known at the full time whistle.
Cross everything, as a positive result here really means we can take advantage of our games in hand.
Now apparently even a non league player has rejected , for whatever reason , a move to our great club !!
Will Conte be with us by the end of the season ?
Hey , wait a mo I see the cavalry coming over the hill with a wagon full of players not wanted by their clubs but good enough to be loaned to us !! Top 4 here we come !!
Well Gil is apparently on his way out to Spain which surprises me as if we really wanted him surely a loan to another English club would help him develop in this country instead of returning him to a league he knows well . He impressed in Spain hence presumably why we bought him . However he is a powder puff and I expect that the Spurs managerial team don,t rate him anyway so he may not be seen in a Spurs shirt again ?
