Preview Tottenham will make their return after Thursday's 2-2 draw against the French Ligue 1 side, Rennes in the Europa Conference League. Ten-men Spurs were thrashed 3-0 on Matchday 4 when they visited Selhurst Park for the game against Crystal Palace. Nuno Espírito Santo's side had been unbeaten before the game while Palace were without a win. Tanganga (R. 58') was given the marching orders after the second yellow card, leaving Palace with the numerical advantage two minutes before the hour-mark. Wilfried Zaha (76' P.) put Palace in the lead from the penalty spot after a handball was detected in the box. Minutes later, Odsonne Edouard (84' & 90'+3) bagged the brace to condemn Spurs to their first defeat of the season: WWWL. The loss sent Tottenham tumbling to 7th place while remaining with 9 points after 3W, 0D, & 1L. Nuno will look to pick up at least a point against Chelsea on Sunday and the 4—2—3—1 formation with Harry Kane in attack could be seen again. Kane has scored just once in his last eight appearances against Chelsea in the Premier League, and a goal against the Blues on Sunday will see him put the ugly record aside. Meanwhile, Heung-min Son remains in doubt for this fixture alongside Lucas Moura.

Preview The Blues return to Premier League action after the 1-0 win over F.C. Zenit in Tuesday's UEFA Champions League opener at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea remain in 2nd place on the Premier League table, unbeaten, WWDW, while having 10 points after 3W, 1D, & 0L. On Matchday 4, the Blues brushed Aston Villa aside in a 3-0 with Lukaku (15', 90+3') bagging the brace. The Belgian continues to settle into life in the Premier League after his return. Thomas Tuchel will be counting on the €115M-rated striker, who has three goals in three appearances so far, to do the damage to Spurs. A 4—3—2—1 formation with Lukaku at the top of the shape is expected on Sunday. Antonio Rüdiger remains locked in negotiations for a contract extension but could be placed on the market if both club and player fail to agree. Meanwhile, Reece James recently released the CCTV footage of four burglars who broke into his home and carted away a safe full of medals. According to the player, law enforcement appears to be closing in on the perpetrators.
