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.

      Chelsea goggles are working I see.

      1. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Blue tint

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            If you need slow mo for it to be a clear red, then its not a clear red

            1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              We don't agree much plus ++++lots

              1. TeamSteam
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                10 years, 4 months ago

                I dont understand this. I didnt even see the incident, but generally if you need slow mo to claim that something is a clear red, try to look at it from the refs perspective having to make a decision with a bunch of players trying to influence him in a short time frame

          2. Sjaugen
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Clear yellow imo

    Typical Spurs. Paying badly when having favourites to win the league pressure hanging over us.

    1. Scab
      • 12 Years

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

    Reus to Liverpool? Can Klopp bring him? I hope not 🙁

    Another reason I wished for Klopp staying away from liverpool...

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Would make FPL a lot more interesting

      1. #WinterIsNotComing
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        I ain't talking about fpl.. but imagine Klopp getting the like of Reus.. would be statement signing. and with Klopp's heavy metal style, liverpool might win PL in 2-3 years....

    2. Chris_White
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Gundogan is more likely

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Could do. He's got a cheap buy out clause as well I thought

      1. fickle
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        not anymore, they renewewed hs contract it with a higher release clause i think

    4. Kaki Tido
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Could be another Aguero too. Extremely good but extremely fragile.

      1. #WinterIsNotComing
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Wished he had played the World Cup... great player to watch but yes injury prone

  16. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Alli status more secure

  17. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    No Liverpool line up??

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years

      3:15

    2. Sjaugen

      Leaked one posted. No Firm or Cout

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Seems unlikely.

        1. TeamSteam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          How so? Coutinho might still be injured (late test) and Firmino has played 2 games in the past week, he very well might get rested

      2. OPTA FPL
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Great news for me, afraid of Cou today

    3. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Way too early

  22. TeamSteam

    Still a fecking snoozefest this

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Isn't it always with Chelsea involved?

      1. TeamSteam
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah dunno why i even bother saying anything. Dunno why im even watching, i dont find this even remotely entertaining

      2. Sjaugen
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Manu got them beat there

  23. King Kav. QC at law
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Is Eden the poster that disappears whenever Chelsea are losing?

    1. Bøwstring The Carp
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      No, you're thinking of all Chelsea supporters

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Class

    2. Ziro Becomes One

      They aint loosing

  24. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Mason is crap

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      His paycheck disagrees

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Still doesn't take away the fact he's very average.

        1. TeamSteam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Hes okay, has a function in the team. There are worse/similar players at other "top" sides, imo

  25. Jose's Magic Omelette
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard nearly in.

  26. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    I'm in Rochdale atm and if the weather is like this in Liverpool the game could easily be called of. No joke 😯

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Very windy here, rainy too. Nothing to suggest it will be called off though.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Off

    3. Jose's Magic Omelette
      • 12 Years

      Scenes if that happens.

    4. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years

      Fine by me!

    5. Andy1
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I'm in Lancashire. It's only a bit of wind. Unless the stadium starts to fall off, it won't cancel the game

  27. Jose's Magic Omelette
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Matic YC.

  28. Lateriser 12
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Toby always gives hopes till the 86th minute and then concedes a goal.

    Kane always gives hopes until the last kick and then goes on and scores.

    Its a trap. Don't fall for it.

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Hope it continues as I benched Toby and brought in Kane!

    2. MMN
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Owned Toby for 4 games yet to get a cleanie

  29. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Snore fest this game.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Good news owning Spurs defence that

  30. Bolivian Seaman
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard still quite poor, see what happens in the new year
