- Robbie Savage
- 4 November 2023
Planet Sport Bet’s Robbie Savage thinks Tottenham will extend their unbeaten start to the season against Chelsea on Monday night (2000 GMT).
The momentum is with Spurs, their brand of football is brilliant. People are saying can Spurs now win the Premier League?
Chelsea, they can’t score goals. I know they got a couple in the Carabao Cup against Blackburn but no goals last week against Brentford, they are struggling to score goals in the Premier League.
Will they score against Spurs? I'm not so sure they will. Look at the momentum, the way they are playing and Spurs are full of confidence.
Spurs don’t usually win this game, they’ve only won two out of the last 13. I think it’ll be three out of 14.
Big Ange to win this game, Spurs to win this game. I'm going Spurs two Chelsea nil.

Planet Sport’s other bets to consider
Are Tottenham Hotspur good enough to win the Premier League? Perhaps not, but they’ve been a great watch under Ange Postecoglou.
Chelsea are a work in progress. They were showing signs of improvement under Mauricio Pochettino before the 2-0 defeat to Brentford.
Spurs remain unbeaten in 11 matches this season and have scored two or more in all but one of those contests.
Consistently finding the net has been an issue for the Blues as they’ve failed to score in four of their last eight.
The basis of what both teams are trying to do involves being dominant in possession and solid at the back, so under 2.5 goals and both teams to score: no seem smart bets.
Pochettino’s side haven’t had the toughest of away schedules so far, but they did fall apart against West Ham and have shipped five in three overall.
Half of the goals they’ve scored this season have come against promoted sides.
On the other hand, Tottenham have put two past Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd while picking up five points, so it’s clear these sides are operating at different levels.
Back Tottenham to win and if you want a bigger price, consider Spurs to win to nil.
