SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to a classic Premier League rivalry, as Chelsea welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge on the evening of Sunday 14 August 2022.<\/p>\n

DStv and GOtv are the only true home of football in Africa, offering a range and depth of action that no other rival can match \u2013 it\u2019s literally \u2018Unbeatable Football\u2019! If you\u2019re going to spend your money on something, it may as well be on the best football in the world.<\/p>\n

Both the Blues and Spurs are hoping to step up their games and challenge Manchester City and Liverpool at the top of the log, making this clash a real six-pointer and a chance to send a statement early in the campaign.<\/p>\n

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel will be hoping that new signings Raheem Sterling and Kalidou Koulibaly can make a major impact in this clash against Tottenham.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201c[Sterling] had chances, very heavily involved in other chances, it was a good performance,\u201d the German said of the player signed for \u00a347.5m from Man City. On Koulibaly, Tuchel added: \u201cHe is a very, very good signing. A strong personality, a strong player. I am happy that he could play minutes now. He\u2019s getting fitter and fitter which is very important for us for the start of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tottenham\u2019s Antonio Conte, meanwhile, says he will be happy to extend his time with the London club if they continue on their path of building towards success: \u201cI have to be honest. In my career the contract was never important. I didn\u2019t need to sign contracts for one, two or three years. For the club it could also be a weight,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy, I\u2019m happy. We\u2019re working really well together. It\u2019s not that one year on the contract more or less can change the situation. For sure we want to continue to improve, to build something important for this club. If the idea continues to be in this way, there will be zero problems to continue my life in Tottenham because I stay well and I like this group of players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raheem Sterling \u2013 The English forward was a big-money signing from Manchester City and is looking to endear himself to Chelsea fans \u2013 there would be no better way to do exactly that than to score in a win over their hated rivals Tottenham at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Harry Kane \u2013 Tottenham\u2019s captain and key player will be hoping that this season brings success in terms of challenging for silverware. If Spurs can claim Chelsea\u2019s scalp away from home, it will send a major statement of intent.<\/p>\n

In head-to-head stats, Chelsea and Tottenham have met in 173 matches across all competitions since 1909. The Blues have claimed 77 wins compared to 55 for Spurs, while 41 games have been drawn.<\/p>\n

Chelsea won all four matches against Spurs last season, winning 3-0 away and 2-0 at home in the Premier League, as well as 2-0 at home and 1-0 away in the two legs of the Carabao Cup semifinal.<\/p>\n

Thomas Tuchel v Antonio Conte \u2013 Tuchel\u2019s more reserved and considered demeanour contrasts sharply with Conte\u2019s voracious sideline antics, but the two managers have similar tactical approaches.<\/p>\n

Kalidou Koulibaly v Son Heung-min \u2013 Koulibaly has long been considered one of European football\u2019s best defenders, but he will have to be at his best to quell the threat of Spurs\u2019 mobile and intelligent Son.<\/p>\n

N\u2019Golo Kante v Yves Bissouma \u2013 Kante is the king of central midfielders, but Bissouma is a potential successor to that throne and could end up being one of the best signings of the season if he can settle quickly at Tottenham.<\/p>\n
