Chelsea vs tottenham
Spurs have started off slow this season; they are really struggling in every department at the moment. They have looked poor in their opening two games and the anticipated departure of their best player berbatov is not going to help their clause. I know a lot of spurs fans had high hope for them mainly from their preseason form and the arrival of some very exciting young talents.
But what they have to realize is that keane and berbatov was the focal point of all their plays. Whenever those two play well, spurs win games and that is a fact.
I think if those two had stayed then they would be a real force this season, however with their departures they are really going to struggle, well for a little while at least until they can adapt to the new players.
Chelsea are going really strong at the moment and I can easily see them winning by more then 1 goal. Spurs midfield looks abit light weight and I expect them to really struggle against a world class Chelsea midfield.
They like to play a direct short passing game but against a teachical and physical Chelsea midfield they will really struggle to win and keep hold of the ball. Last seasons 3-3 thriller between these two sides saw keane and berbatov involve in all their plays and goals. If they struggle with their passing game then they can always knock the ball up field to berbabtov and let him hold the ball up and pick out passes. But now with just Bent up front, I struggle to see spurs scoring this game. Bently and bale can hit as many crosses as they want but bent is not going to beat terry or carvalho to the ballExpect Chelsea to dominate this game in the midfield and shut out an in transition young spurs team
