On January 23, the match of the 23rd round of the English Premier League will take place, in which Chelsea will play Tottenham at home. The forecast for this match is given by the famous commentator of Match TV Timur Zhuravel.
Chelsea and Tottenham will meet for the third time in a head-to-head match in less than three weeks. Prior to that, the teams of Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte fought for a ticket to the final of the English League Cup, and the Blues turned out to be stronger, having managed to win both semifinal matches – 2-0 at home and 1-0 away.
Although in the second leg, Chelsea was largely saved by the VAR system, thanks to which two penalties were canceled in favor of Tottenham, as well as one goal scored from a minimal offside. In the "Dovarov" era, "pensioners could well celebrate a bright comeback.
Antonio Conte still has to show his will with his team and break the streak of failures in face-to-face matches with Chelsea. The prerequisites for this are in the form of the away victory over Leicester (3-2) the other day, when two decisive goals were scored by Bergwein in the last minutes of compensated time.
Timur Zhuravel believes that Tottenham will be able to take points from Chelsea this time. The quality of the game, the mobilization and the emotional background of Spurs should bear fruit in a duel with an opponent who has been unpleasant for himself lately.
