After a pause in the championship, Tottenham began to lose points. On September 11, the Spurs lost to Crystal Palace away (3-0).

Chelsea is in 2nd place in the English Premier League standings (ten points after four matches). The Blues have not suffered a single defeat in the 2021/22 season. The reigning Champions League winners expanded their collection with the UEFA Super Cup after beating Spanish Villarreal (1-1 and 6-5 on penalties), and then they scored ten points in four starting rounds of the Premier League. In the previous round, Chelsea defeated Aston Villa at home (3-0), gaining their second major home win in a row. The unbeaten run continued in the Champions League, where Tuchel's men started with a minimal victory over Zenit St. Petersburg (1-0). Chelsea could not overcome the defense of the Russian champions for a long time, but Romelu Lukaku still upset the opponent’s goalkeeper in the 69th minute.
Chelsea looks like the favorite of the London derby, despite the status of the visitors. The statistics of recent games, the sudden problems of Spurs in defense, and additional two days of rest are in favor of the Blues. Before the game, a bet on a goal from Romelu Lukaku looks attractive but risky. The most expensive newcomer in the history of Chelsea (€ 115m) started working out the invested money, having scored in three of the first four matches in all competitions. The Belgian has good chances to score at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he will be confronted by the home team with a weakened defense.
Prediction for the match: Romelu Lukaku to score — yes
