Sunday’s curtain-raiser pits a red-hot Spurs side against a Chelsea outfit that’s showed shoots of recovery in the past week. The corresponding fixture last term resulted in a 5-3 victory for the home side, so Jose Mourinho’s charges will be out for revenge at White Hart Lane.
Ranking top for goals (13), attempts (67), shots inside the box (44) and shots on target (31) over the last four Gameweeks, Tottenham’s attack is flourishing at present. Looking at their home output, no side has accrued more goals (15), attempts (99) or accurate shots (46) on their own turf than the Lilywhites, illuminating the challenge that faces Chelsea’s back line. Nonetheless, the Blues will be cognizant of the fact that the North Londoners earned just one clean sheet in their previous seven fixtures.
Chelsea have enjoyed more success on the attacking front of late and placed fourth for attempts (56) across the last four Gameweeks. That being said, they suffered from a 28.6% shot accuracy and a relative lack of clear-cut opportunities (five big chances). Of greatest concern to those Fantasy managers holding Chelsea assets is their away record: they are winless on the road since a hard-fought 3-2 victory over West Bromwich Albion in Gameweek 3.
