Chelsea: Neto’s form and a goalkeeper doubt
Pedro Neto scored both goals in Chelsea’s 2-0 win at Everton on Oct. 17, Citizen Digital reported. It was Chelsea’s first away win of the season and their first league clean sheet in 23 games.
The win came with an injury. Goalkeeper Emi Martinez was hurt in a head clash with Branthwaite and taken to hospital for precautionary tests, Citizen Digital reported. Mike Penders replaced him and made his Premier League debut.
Manager Xabi Alonso said: “Right now he’s in the hospital doing the precautionary tests, so let’s see.”
Chelsea had not confirmed whether Martinez is available against Tottenham.
Captain Reece James had minor knee surgery after an injury in training and is expected to be out for around three months, Sky Sports reported. Sky Sports says he will miss the Tottenham game.
Tottenham: a first win and an injury list
Spurs beat Coventry 3-1 at home on Monday, their first league win of the season. They had been the last of 92 English league clubs to win, the Khaleej Times reported.
Maddison scored in the 14th minute, the Tribune reported. Marmoush added his first Spurs goal just before the hour, and Ben Davies scored in stoppage time. Rudoni scored Coventry’s goal, the Tribune reported.
Kulusevski returned from a 526-day absence as a substitute, the Khaleej Times reported.
The result lifted Tottenham to 16th, one place above Coventry. Before the game Spurs had scored three goals in the campaign, the Khaleej Times reported.
Tottenham published team news on Oct. 18, before the Coventry game. Bergvall has a knee injury and is about two weeks out, while Savio has a muscle injury and will miss some weeks, the club said.
Porro has a hamstring injury but could play at Chelsea. Manager Roberto De Zerbi said “maybe in Chelsea he can play.”
Those details predate Monday’s game, and Tottenham had not confirmed its squad for Saturday.
what the table does and does not show
A table after seven games is a short record, and this one reads like a snapshot of one week. Chelsea scored seven and conceded one in their last two league games, a 5-1 home win and a 2-0 win at Everton. Tottenham scored four and conceded two in theirs, a 1-1 draw at Manchester United and Monday’s 3-1 win.
The goal difference shows the same split. Chelsea are on plus four and Tottenham on minus four, an eight-goal gap. Spurs’ scoring is the clearest difference: they had three goals in the campaign before Monday, the Khaleej Times reported, and scored three against Coventry in a single game.
What the table cannot show is team selection. Neither club had confirmed team news, so the fitness details above are the latest on record, not a line-up. The managers are Xabi Alonso at Chelsea, according to Hayters, and Roberto De Zerbi at Tottenham, according to the club site.
