Chelsea have a world class goalkeeper in goal. They are not playing any better than last season. They just swapped a rubbish goalkeeper to one of the worlds best keepers. They also play more defensive than they did last season so sit in more.

He made 2 incredible saves vs us at OT. If Kepa was in goal both those shots would have been easy goals. 1 from a one on one and one a rocket of a shot into the top corner.

This is absolute nonsense, we have been as attacking as last season. Just have better defenders

And if Tim Krul saved every shot he faced last season while Pukki scored every shot he had Norwich would have won the league!

Lucky, lucky Liverpool!

Well you just parked the bus at OT and your goalkeeper made 4 world class saves.

Made one half decent save imo. No world class ones. Utd didn’t do much at all and we were still missing a lot of our players. We’re improving week on week as we build our fitness up. Must hurt to see improvement as a Utd fan

Chelsea last season had 19.54 expected goals and 10.06 against last season after 9 league games. 18.03 expected points compared to 17 they had.

This season Chelsea expected goals is 15.18 and 8.30 against after 9 league games. 16.87 expected points compared to 18 they have.

So basically all Lampard has done has put the handbrake on and his forwards have been lethal and since Kepa and your other keeper stopped playing, you have managed clean sheets mainly due to the insane save percentage of your keeper.

I think this game will be a 1-1 draw. Spurs look really impressive this season. Question is do they have the depth or will Mourinho lose interest. I remember under Jose we used to go through good runs of form now and again but then go through really bad runs of form.

We’ve won there once in 30 years

Maybe that’s why the odds are what they are

Fancy Chelsea to get a result tomorrow actually. Will see you back here after Sandy.

I don't care about that. What happened over the past 30 years is irrelevant. Spurs are better equipped squadwise now, than any time in the last 30 years.

Now, Sandy, we are all expecting a big performance - the occasion demands it.
How many times do we actually turn up??? Hardly ever.
The performance tomorrow - win, lose or draw - will tell us so much about this team in it’s current guise.
We have been abysmal vs these lot for so long. Bar one game a couple of years ago and in the cup the other week.
This game will tell us so much.

Spurs have turned up in all their big games this season. Different era now under Jose.

Cannot be anything more than a hunch on your part. Chelsea haven't beaten any half decent side they have faced this season.

Agree to an extent but psychologically it might have an effect

Hope not though

I don't think so Palmers. May have done in the past, but the Spurs players are vastly experienced now. When you have players like Bale, and a manager like Jose, both serial winners, they won't care what happened in the past

So pretty similar stats then and that’s with half our first team out for first few games. Also not sure how our ex goals are so low. Werner has missed about 5 sitters.

that u think our strikers have been lethal as well

Damned silly thread!
I wish someone would put the starting elevens up....whatever they think they will be.....
so we can see the match-ups.
We're without Toby...which is a BIG starting minus.
Who are they without? Maybe Timo Werner?

Jimmy Greaves won't be playing for Chelsea tomorrow.

In fairness that is a value bet at 5/2.

Even though I think Chelsea will win.

Here's what Mourinho is saying about this match..
"he's not worried about who plays for Chelsea because "they only have very good players in every position" .......no wonder the bookies are giving you odds you like, Sandy.....
