Chelsea travels to White Hart Lane to face Tottenham in Premier League 8 round games. This is an interesting game for many reasons for the two clubs, fans and head coaches. Andreas Villa Boas meets his former club, assistant coach and players for the first time since he was sacked. Roberto Di Mateo step in AVB shoes and knowing his fate was also at stake he concentrate more on defending and with this style he managed to win UEFA Champions league. This trophy was what club owner wanted and was happy to give contract to RDM.

Tottenham and Chelsea FC playing styles

With some change of players following summer transfer Chelsea playing style has mutated completely and seems to play a bit more fast and attacking football. Chelsea face Tottenham which play pretty similar style but Spurs seems to be accustomed to their style than Chelsea using the likes of Bale and Lennon which might be a bit of a trouble for league leaders. But then again, Chelsea which using to possess more at the back this season have midfielders like Juan Mata, Oscar and Eden Hazard which stays with the ball more at the centre and front side. Tottenham vs Chelsea is always an interesting match especially when both clubs are on good form.
