The central match of the second round of the 2017-18 EPL season will be an encounter between Tottenham and Chelsea, the two London teams, which will very soon represent England in the Champions League. Tottenham started the season with a confident victory over Newcastle, while Chelsea lost in a domestic match to one of the league outsiders with a result of 2:3. This shows, that the Blues have problems, which may prevent the team from getting a positive result in the upcoming game.
Tottenham have been showing a very quality football for a third season now. The EPL start has turned out to be very successful – three away points in a confrontation with a very strong competitor. The Spurs are situated on the fourth position for now, although seven other teams have three points as well. The situation will slightly change in the nearest future, as not that many teams will be able to keep on winning two or three rounds in a row.
Chelsea have started the season without Hazard, who is very important, if not the key player of the Blues. Besides, Matic has left, who cemented the midfield, Cahill and Fabregas are banned. With these squad problems it will be extremely hard for Chelsea to even get a point at Wembley with Tottenham, who have started scoring and winning in the EPL from the first matches.
In the upcoming EPL game against Chelsea, Tottenham will put maximum effort to win against their direct competitors and principal opponents. The Spurs have no trouble with the roster, while Chelsea have some big squad trouble.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with 0.0 Asian handicap
