On the latest Pitch to Post Preview podcast, Sky Sports News reporter Michael Bridge and Sky sports journalist Charlotte Marsh tells us the truth …
Bridge: creativity that comes through Kane
Harry Kane is the driving force behind Spurs creativity, according to Michael Bridge
“The key here is that Mourinho has a squad where there seems to be two players for each position, it seems like there is real competition. Serge Aurier is now on the right back, he also has Matt Doherty. He faces him and there is competition. at Hojbjerg he has been a great addition to that midfield doing his dirty work well, so there seems to be a change in place and all the credit goes to the coach.
“I’m sure Mourinho will downplay it in terms of the importance of the game, but keep my words in mind, this is a huge game on a personal note and for the football club. Frank Lampard said before his League match. Champions I was already thinking about Sunday’s match. It’s a great derby in its own right, there’s a lot of history between the clubs, obviously there won’t be any fans, but Lampard will want to win this match too. of the Man City game, José would also have been planning the game against Chelsea.

“It’s going to be a very tough game and Spurs have obviously had the Europa League game in the middle of that too, but I hope the team is a lot like what it was against Manchester City.”
“However, there is a big loss, with Toby Alderweireld having a groin problem. It seems that it was not as bad as it was feared at first, but he will not play on Sunday. Also José plays Joe Rodon and puts him in his place. His first outing in the Premier League? Is that a big question for him, or has he put Davinson Sánchez in? He’s a little up and down, but he’ll be alongside Eric Dier, who was phenomenal against Manchester City. So there are some decisions to make and it will be interesting to see which XI plays.

We take a trip back to 2016 and a historic evening at Stamford Bridge when emotions were running high between title hunters Tottenham and London rivals Chelsea.
“It’s phenomenal the way Kane is playing. I can’t even describe what he is like right now, it’s just everything. At the end of the day, Kane wants to break goalscoring records, and if he stays fit, he will.” break them.
“But you look at his performances, against Man Utd, his passing through Son was incredible and his passing range against Southampton at the start of the season was phenomenal. I’ve said the Spurs really miss the creative influence of Christian Eriksen and them.” I’ve brought in a creative midfielder, but they actually have him in Kane.

Michael Brown has targeted his former team, Tottenham, as a title contender after their impressive win over Manchester City
“I’ve said this for a while and I think the team that wins the league is the team with the fewest people in the treatment room. There is no reason that Spurs and Chelsea can’t think they can do this. This Now. Look at Liverpool against Atalanta, Jurgen Klopp makes some changes and suddenly they look quite normal. It’s early but neither team will want to lose this match, especially Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. “
Marsh: Lampard’s vision starts to click
Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech are starting to click as Chelsea newcomers
“Chelsea have had so many new players and it was about them clicking and finding that rhythm together that they are starting to do.
“For me the biggest change has been Hakim Ziyech’s tackle, he has been absolutely magnificent. He has only played in five Premier League games after injury when he came in, but he has scored once, he has assisted three times and he has helped. to create ten chances, which is only improved by Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell, who have played a little more games than he has and works with about two chances per game right now, which is pretty good.

“Lampard clearly had a vision in the summer of who he wanted to bring in and how he wanted to set up his team. After spending £ 226.1 million, it’s working for him.
“And it definitely has a personal component. In the EFL Cup game that they played at the beginning of the season, which the Spurs won on penalties, they had something to do on the touchline, so there’s that element. Lampard was The head coach beat Mourinho twice in a league season last year and, if he does so again, it will be the first time Mourinho has lost three consecutive league games against the same coach or club.
“So considering it’s Lampard and Chelsea, that adds another dimension to an already exciting game.

Improving Chelsea’s defense has helped Edouard Mendy get off to a good start, according to former Blues goalkeeper Rob Green.
“The work that Edouard Mendy has done since he arrived cannot be underestimated either. He was a somewhat unknown entity, no one knew too much about him, apart from Petr Cech, who had a great part in bringing him in and simply proves that you cannot challenge or win. nothing without a decent goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga was clearly struggling and it seems Mendy is the answer to the problem and they didn’t have to spend £ 75 million or £ 80 million trying to find another goalkeeper.
“Heading into summer again are Thiago Silva and Ben Chilwell. There were some question marks about Silva and his age and if he could keep up with the Premier League and he got off to a bit of a rough start and again it’s about adjusting to the league and is starting to show what he can do – it seems Chilwell has been playing left back for Chelsea for the last ten years and is only 23 years old.
“They have really propped up that defense, but they will really be tested by Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, who are two players in incredible form.”
