Chelsea started the season with a 1-0 victory over Everton at the Goodison Park.

The Blues would host Tottenham for our second league game of the season.

Tottenham started the season on fire, with a 4-1 victory over Southampton.

Speaking ahead of the game against Spurs, Raheem Sterling is expecting a tough game and has said it would be a real test for Chelsea.

Sterling said: “It’s a tough first couple of fixtures, and I think we can test ourselves for sure and put us in a good stead for the season.”

Rating Chelsea’s performance in pre-season, Sterling admitted it was full of ups and downs, but doesn’t think it would be that way for Chelsea.

Sterling said: “Pre-season was up and down in terms of results and what the manager wanted. But pre-season isn’t real.

“We try to build on that, and you can see from the short time we’ve been back at Cobham, that the energy and unity of the team is what you guys hear about.

“You can feel that going into games, and I am really optimistic being in the building, seeing how the guys work, and how passionate the manager is.”
