Chelsea vs. Spurs – Today, August 14 2022, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur play each other at Stamford Bridge with the goal of building on their wins from the first weekend of the new Premier League season.
Spurs easily thrashed Southampton 4-1 before Chelsea prevailed in a tougher match against Everton later that day. The Blues were vulnerable against Everton at Goodison Park because Chelsea is still trying to move players in and out of the club.
Thomas Tuchel’s team won 1-0 with Jorginho’s penalty kick. The only thing that mattered in this game was the result, as Chelsea tried to preserve their lead in the title pursuit.

Spurs have changed under Antonio Conte from a team that was battling to qualify for the Europa League to one that appears to be the most capable of competing with Manchester City and Liverpool this season.
Although achieving that potential is far easier said than done, Conte has put together a team that will be devastated if they do not finish in the top three or win a trophy at the conclusion of the season.
Spurs recovered from a sluggish start against Southampton last Saturday by scoring four goals without either Son Heung-min or Harry Kane recording a goal.
While Conte will feel some satisfaction from that, he will also admit inwardly that a game of this importance will put his players’ abilities to the test.
Spurs enter this match having lost five straight to Chelsea and haven’t beaten them in the Premier League since England: Premier League 2018. Before this London derby, not much had changed in terms of newcomers, aside from Marc Cucurella getting a full week with his new teammates.
Tuchel will nevertheless be expecting a much more effective performance from his players, who will be conscious of the need to imitate their opponents’ ruthlessness in their play.
