Our prediction for this Premier League match:

Tottenham

Tottenham

Chelsea

Chelsea

All eyes will be on Tottenham Hotspur Stadium when Tottenham and Chelsea lock horns in the North London derby on Sunday. Spurs aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth and we are positive that key attacker Heung-Min Son will return to the starting XI this weekend. Dominik Solanke should keep his place up front as a lone centre-forward, while important centre-back Cristian Romero remains doubtful. The likes of Richarlison, Vicario, and Micky van de Ven remain in the recovery room, while Uruguay midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur has yet to serve his suspension.

The Blues, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Enzo Maresca’s men faced no difficulties in a 5-1 crushing of Southampton and given Tottenham’s poor form, away win should be considered. A man to watch in the away team will be Cole Palmer, who has found his goal-scoring touch of late. The likes of Reece James, Wesley Fofana, and Omari Kellyman remains on the sidelines with injuries for the away team.

Prediction:
1-2

Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):

Heung-min Son

Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.

The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.

In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.

Highlighted Team (Chelsea):

Chelsea

Over the years Chelsea have established themselves as one of the dominant forces in the English Premier League. Roberto Di Matteo helped the team win their first ever Champions League trophy (2011/2012), but it has to be noted that they were more than fortunate to beat Bayern Munich in the title game.

Chelsea have been playing at Stamford Bridge since 1876 and they are a real force to be reckoned with at home. The Blues have won seven FA Cups, five League Cups, two UEFA Cup Winners’ Cups and the UEFA Europa League. Rafael Benitez was in charge of the team that faced Benfica in the 2012/2013 Europa League final, with Branislav Ivanovic scoring the winner for the Blues in the title clash.

After lifting the 2014/2015 Premier League trophy, the Blues largely struggled in the next campaign, which saw Jose Mourinho’s second spell with the club come to an end, and Antoine Conte went over to take the reigns for the 2016/2017 season.
