North London Showdown

Mauricio Pochettino is set to make his return to Tottenham as he leads his Chelsea side to North London in search of three points. The former Spurs manager faces a tough task against a red hot Tottenham team flourishing under Ange Postecoglou.

Table Toppers

Tottenham currently sits at the top of the Premier League table alongside their fierce rivals Arsenal, being the only two unbeaten teams in the league. With Son Heung-min bagging eight Premier League goals already, Spurs are a force to be reckoned with.

Form Goes Out the Window

When these two teams meet, form tends to go out the window. Chelsea, despite languishing in 11th place, have a habit of causing problems for Tottenham. Pochettino's side, on the other hand, have held both Arsenal and Liverpool to draws this season and will be looking for a victory against their rivals.

Pride on the Line

For Pochettino, there's more than just three points at stake. The Argentine tactician will want to show that he still has what it takes to compete at the top of England's top flight. After being held in high regard by Tottenham fans for so long, Pochettino is now a distant memory to supporters who are ecstatic about their team's free-flowing Ange-ball style of play.

Test for Postecoglou

Monday's derby day will also be a test for Ange Postecoglou to see if he can keep his team focused and firing to mount a serious title charge this season. Tottenham, under Postecoglou's guidance, has been on fire and is looking like a serious title contender.

Team News

Spurs will still be without a number of key players for the London derby clash, including Ryan Sessegnon, Ivan Perisic, and Ben Davies. Chelsea, on the other hand, will have a long list of absentees, including Ben Chilwell, Armando Broja, and Wesley Fofana.

Star Men

James Maddison has been one of the standout players in the Premier League this season and will be a key player for Tottenham. For Chelsea, Raheem Sterling has been their top scorer in the league and could be a danger to Spurs' attacking style of play.

What the Managers Said

Ange Postecoglou spoke highly of Mauricio Pochettino in his pre-match press conference, while Pochettino himself expressed his excitement about returning to Tottenham. Both managers are eager for a victory in this highly anticipated clash.

Prediction

Tottenham is in electric form this season and is hard to look past for this match. A home crowd should give them the edge over Chelsea. Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Chelsea.
