Chelsea look to continue their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season when they make the short trip to Tottenham on Sunday. Spurs saw their 100% start to the campaign crash and burn at Selhurst Park but the players will have to pick themselves up ahead of a tough 90-minutes against an in-form Chelsea side.

Tottenham vs Chelsea: Football Whispers Predictions
Chelsea to Win
We're going with the bookmakers and backing a Chelsea victory this weekend. The Blues won their last game against Spurs 1-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to a Jorginho penalty and while we are expecting another close game on Sunday, Tuchel's side look best placed to secure all 3pts. Chelsea have won four of their last five matches in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in each of those victories.
Under 2.5 Goals
Fewer than three goals have been scored in four of the last five competitive encounters between Tottenham and Chelsea, and we're predicting another tight and tense 90-minutes on Sunday. Four of Tottenham's last six matches in all competitions (before the game against Rennes) have witnessed under 2.5 goals and each have ended in a scoreline of 1-0. Four of Chelsea's last six matches have also produced under 2.5 goals with the Blues winning 1-0 in midweek against Zenit.
Lukaku to Score
Romelu Lukaku is enjoying his return to Chelsea where, clearly, he has some unfinished business at Stamford Bridge and that is providing plenty of motivation for the Belgium international. Lukaku has already netted three goals in the Premier League this season, including a goal in North London against Arsenal. Tottenham have some issues at the back in terms of injuries and suspensions, something that Lukaku will be looking to exploit.

The Romelu Lukau Show: Can the Belgian goal machine be the hero once again?
Tottenham had won all three of their Premier League games 1-0 ahead of a trip to Selhurst Park last weekend but that winning run came to an abrupt end. Spurs looked toothless against the Eagles even before they were reduced to 10-men in the 58th-minute. Tanganga picked up two needless yellow cards in the space of 5-minutes and received his marching orders. A penalty from Zaha and two goals for new signing Edouard late on sealed a 3-0 defeat for Nuno's men.
Chelsea followed up their 1-1 draw at Anfield with a comfortable 3-0 victory at home against Aston Villa last time out. Lukaku opened the scoring in the 15th-minute and Kovacic doubled the home side's advantage early in the second half. Aston Villa gave as good as they got but simply couldn't convert their chances, while Lukaku went on to net his second and Chelsea's third in stoppage time.
Team News
Tottenham: Tanganga is suspended following his red card against Crystal Palace and Son has been ruled out through injury. Bergwijn, Sessegnon and Dier are all in the process of recovering from injuries, while Sanchez, Lo Celso and Romero could all return to the starting lineup.
Chelsea: Christian Pulisic is expected to miss this weekend's game due to a foot injury but N'Golo Kante could return to the squad after missing the Zenit game through injury.
