In my opinion Tottenham have really good chances to avoid loss in today's match up.

Both teams in totally different mood at the moment. Tottenham looks extremely solid with new manager Antonio Conte on the bench (he is former Chelsea manager and won Premier League title with them). Conte is first manager in club history who didn't lost in first 8 Premier League matches. For sure he wants to go with momentum today and all team really trusts him now. On the other hand Chelsea results in last weeks doesn't looked convincing at all-only 3 wins in last 9 matches in all competitions . In addition to that there was big scandal about Lukaku (the most expensive player in their squad). He complained about club, there was disciplinary action against him. It's not the best atmosphere for sure.

Chelsea never won this competition and I don't think so it's the most important title for them. They wants to finish Premier League high as possible and they are involved in Champions League knockout stage where they are title defenders. On the other hand Tottenham didn't won anything for the ages and I'm sure they have big motivation to win this title. They are not involved in European Cups anymore this season. Antonio Conte said: "It’s always very important to win trophies - for the club, for the players, for the managers. You can't win trophies by speaking and saying you want to win. For sure, we’ll do everything to reach the final of this trophy. But I repeat: to use this verb ‘to win’ is more simple than winning because to win you have to build something important, be solid, have an important squad. Then you’re ready to win. "

Tottenham coming for this game without any new absences. They will play with the strongest possible line up, at the weekend they will have a chance to give a rest for a key players as they will play against lower league Morecambe in FA Cup. On the other hand Chelsea have big squad problems.

Chelsea key central defenders Chalobah and Christensen is unavailable, same key left back Chilwell and key right back James. In addition to that Loftus-Cheek (he can play right back) is doubtful. In this situation Chelsea manager will use on the left side Alonso. I'm sure he will have big problems with Tottenham right back Emerson (looked very good in last match). In addition to that Conte trained Alonso in Chelsea and knows his weaknesses. It's very questionable who will play on the right side in Chelsea, but they are depleted there. Probably Pulisic, but looks like he lost his speed after long injury. On top of that Chelsea today is without their superb goalkeeper Mendy, he went to Africa Championships. Kepa is at least one level below him. For me is very hard to see clean sheet for Chelsea, they conceded at least one goal in 9 of last 11 matches. Tottenham offensive formation works well, they scored more than one goal in 5 of last 8 matches. Trio Moura/Kane/Son should make a lot of problems for Chelsea today.

Tottenham defensive formations works better and better with Conte on bench. They conceded only one goal in last 3 matches. On the other hand Chelsea have problems with strikers-Lukaku is included in squad, but I'm not sure he will play, other key striker Werner didn't played almost one month. I don't see easy goals for hosts today.

All in all, value for sure is on away side here.

在我看来，热刺在今天的比赛中有很好的机会避免失败。

两支球队此刻的心情完全不同。托特纳姆热刺在新任主教练安东尼奥·孔戴(他是前切尔西主教练，曾随切尔西夺得英超冠军)的带领下看起来非常稳固。孔戴是俱乐部历史上第一个在前8场英超比赛中没有输掉的主教练。可以肯定的是，他今天很有动力，现在所有的球队都很信任他。另一方面，切尔西上周的成绩看起来并不令人信服——在所有比赛中，最近9场比赛只有3胜。除此之外，还有关于卢卡库(球队中身价最高的球员)的大丑闻。他投诉了俱乐部，对他进行了纪律处分。这肯定不是最好的氛围。

切尔西从未赢得过这项比赛，我不认为这是他们最重要的头衔。他们希望尽可能的完成英超联赛，而且他们还将进入冠军联赛的淘汰赛阶段，在那里他们是冠军的捍卫者。另一方面，热刺这么多年来什么都没赢过，我相信他们有很大的动力去赢得这个冠军。本赛季他们将不再有欧战。安东尼奥·孔特说:“赢得奖杯总是非常重要的——对俱乐部，对球员，对教练。光说你想赢是赢不了奖杯的。当然，我们会尽一切努力去争取这个奖杯。但我要重申:使用“赢”这个动词比“赢”更简单，因为要赢，你必须建立一些重要的东西，坚固，有一个重要的队伍。然后你就准备好赢了。”

托特纳姆将在没有新球员缺席的情况下迎来这场比赛。他们将使用最强的阵容，本周末他们将有机会让关键球员休息，因为他们将在足总杯对阵低级别联赛的莫克姆。另一方面，切尔西有很大的阵容问题。

切尔西的关键中后卫查洛巴和克里斯滕森无法上场，同样关键的左后卫奇尔维尔和右后卫詹姆斯也无法上场。此外，洛夫特斯-齐克(他能打右后卫)也值得怀疑。在这种情况下，切尔西主帅将用阿隆索打左路。我相信他和热刺的右后卫埃莫森会有很大的问题(上一场比赛看起来很好)。此外，孔戴还在切尔西训练过阿隆索，他知道阿隆索的弱点。谁会在切尔西的右路踢球还很成问题，但是他们在那里已经筋疲力尽了。可能是普利西奇，但看起来他在长期受伤后失去了速度。最重要的是，今天的切尔西没有了他们的优秀门将曼迪，他去了非洲锦标赛。凯帕至少比他低一级。对于我来说很难看到切尔西没有失球，他们在过去的11场比赛中有9场至少丢了一个球。托特纳姆的进攻阵型很好，他们在最近8场比赛中有5场进球超过1个。莫拉/凯恩/儿子三人组今天会给切尔西带来很多麻烦。

热刺的防守阵型在孔戴坐在板凳上时越来越好。他们在最近三场比赛中只丢了一个球。另一方面，切尔西在前锋方面存在问题——卢卡库也在阵容中，但我不确定他是否会上场，其他关键前锋沃纳几乎一个月都没有上场。我不认为今天的东道主有什么轻松的目标。

总而言之，这里的价值肯定在远处。
