The standout match in the Premier League on Sunday comes from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as Spurs welcome Chelsea.
It has been an excellent start to life under Enzo Maresca for the Blues, and despite the coach’s comments, they are certainly in the mix for the title this season.
Chelsea have won each of their last three, and they are just seven points behind Liverpool at the summit.
Tottenham can only dream of that sort of consistency after losing at Bournemouth in midweek to drop to tenth in the standings.
Odds
Chelsea will be a solid favorite on the moneyline this weekend at +114. Tottenham are a +217 chance to respond from their midweek defeat on the south coast.
