Tottenham will host Chelsea on Saturday for a key Premier League match in London. The side coached by Thomas Frank is currently third in the standings with 17 points after nine games while Chelsea are ninth with 14 points and this London derby can definitely change the direction of this season for both teams. Since beating Burnley on the opening day of 2025-26, Tottenham have lost at home to Bournemouth and Aston Villa, while only a last-minute equaliser spared them defeat to Wolves. Speaking to the media ahead of Saturday’s game, Frank spoke about Maresca’s job at Chelsea: “Enzo’s done an amazing job at Chelsea. First season, qualifying for the Champions League and won the Conference League, so competing in definitely more than one front. Won the Club World Cup and had a decent start to the season, very impressive. It was very clear what him and his staff want to achieve, how they want to play.” Here’s what you need to know.
