Premier League: Tottenham Hotspur's Title Credentials Face Chelsea Test

12.08.2022 - 05:51 sports.ndtv.com

Tottenham lived up to pre-season hype they could challenge for the Premier League title by going top of the table on the opening weekend of the season, but face a truer test of their credentials away to Chelsea on Sunday.

Antonio Conte has been heavily backed in his first full season as Spurs boss with the signings of Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Ivan Perisic, Djed Spence, Clement Lenglet and Fraser Forster in the transfer window.

But none of the six new faces started in an impressive 4-1 win over Southampton to underline the strength in depth now on offer to Conte.

Spurs, though, have only won once in the league at Stamford Bridge in 32 years and beating the Blues would send an early season statement of intent that they can bridge the gap to Manchester City and Liverpool.

West Ham United host in-form Tottenham Hotspur at the London Stadium on Thursday. West Ham started their season with a 1-0 away success but three defeat in the last three has seen them hit a road block. Spurs, on the other hand, are one of the three unbeaten teams so far this season, and sit third in the Premier League points table. Both teams have been quite active in the summer, but it's Antonio Conte's men who have hit the ground running with three wins and a draw so far.
