Ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, former Premier League goalkeeper Brad Friedel has predicted a tough match for both teams.

Chelsea have been in poor form with just two wins in our last 14 games but Friedel believes the Blues will look to bounce back from our defeat against Southampton.

Speaking to the Sporting Post this week, Friedel said: “It will still be a tough fixture, just look at the squad Chełsea have, although maybe they have too many players!

“I understand what they were trying to do with the loophole and the signings of the players, especially for FFP, but I’m not sure it’s so easy to manage all those players.

“I’m sure it’ll take Potter even longer with all those top quality players to figure out who is going to play the best together. It’s almost too many players.

“Chełsea have been so different this year to what we’ve been very used to for the last 15-20 years.

“Nonetheless, Chełsea is a dangerous side and it’s going to be a hard game. Just because their form hasn’t been great and Spurs are at home, doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, not by any stretch of the imagination.

“You would also think that losing at home to Southampton, although it’ll be a confidence blow, it’s going to lift a couple of the players – especially when playing a local derby. It’s going to be a hard game for both teams.”
