With Chelsea still looking to move players in and out of the club, there was a vulnerability about the Blues as they faced Everton at Goodison Park.

The Blues take on their London rivals in what is set to be a huge Super Sunday clash.

Why is Chelsea not in this group of top teams? The 'if' sentiment alludes to the fact that Redknapp doesn't believe in their current state that Thomas Tuchel's side are credible candidates for a top-four finish. Frenkie de Jong, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Wesley Fofana are next in line as the Blues remained locked in the talks for the trio.

As great as last season was, all of the Chelsea fixtures look like a huge blemish, and it was clearly frustrating for Conte to not get the monkey off his back. Ivan Perisic is going to play, but Sessegnon is playing like someone who needs to be on the pitch. He did not face Chelsea with Spurs last season, but do not be surprised to see some goal involvements from him this weekend.

Chelsea will, on Sunday evening, host Tottenham in a Premier League tie at Stamford Bridge. Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Jamie O’Hara, has backed his old club to ‘absolutely destroy’ Chelsea when both teams clash in a Premier League derby this weekend. Thomas Tuchel’s side head to the game following a 1-0 victory over Everton in their previous Premier League tie, while Antonio Conte’s side defeated Southampton 4-1.

Chelsea vs Tottenham: Roles are reversed with Spurs being praised and dubbed title contenders ahead of a fierce London derby at Stamford Bridge.

Since the end of last season, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen (free transfers), Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku (loans) have all left the club, with Raheem Sterling, Marc Cucurella and Kalidou Koulibaly ($165.4 million combined) arriving as reinforcements. Now, Antonio Conte, a Premier League champion with Chelsea himself, is at the helm and Tottenham look stronger and more convincing than perhaps they ever have. 1W-1D-6L. That’s Tottenham’s dismal record against Chelsea over the last four Premier League seasons (3W-1D-9L if you include all competitions). Even in the best of times for Spurs — in the 2015 League Cup final and the Battle at the Bridge, when Tottenham were chasing Leicester City for the PL title, just to name a couple — Chelsea were a constant thorn in Mauricio Pochettino’s side.

Chelsea hosts Tottenham for another Premier League clash on Sunday, but who does Thomas Tuchel name to his starting XI against Spurs?

The good news is that Kalidou Koulibaly has opened his Premier League clean sheet account. Chelsea needs to keep at the back of its mind that Silva will not be this way forever. He saved the Blues several times in awkward situations. If anyone ever had any doubt as to Cesar Azpilicueta’s role in the coming season, the contract that Chelsea signed him to after the saga with FC Barcelona tells you all you need to know. Mendy is Chelsea’s No. 1 goalkeeper for the foreseeable future. Tottenham’s first match and the Blues’ first match were night and day.

The feeling for Tottenham going to Stamford Bridge is a bad one. The manager has the players in he wants and they're going to be a real force this season make no mistake. I think this is going to be a really cagey game. Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane didn't score at the weekend and will want a piece of the action, Dejan Kulusevski has been a really good signing... I wouldn't like to say they could go for the title just yet, but they'll certainly go close and I'd be amazed if they don't get a trophy. As a stop-gap for a year, it probably wouldn't be the worst signing. It feels like he wants to come to London and isn't too keen on going to Manchester. Whoever gets him, he's a game changer for them. They will play it in a very clever way. That's credit to Conte and also to chairman Daniel Levy for giving him what he wants. The players they've signed, they're not typical signings for Tottenham because they're ready to win right now and normally Tottenham buy for the future. They spent big money on Marc Cucurella - too much in my opinion but he's still a really, really good player. That hasn't always been the case with previous managers and they look incredibly strong.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Premier League: You choose the starting lineup.

We however will not have frequent Spurs-killer Marcos Alonso or the injured Mateo Kovačić to participate in said propelling. But these Spurs aren’t last season’s Spurs, and they appear to operating at full Antonio Conte-capacity already. That said, Spurs have still won just once at Stamford Bridge since 1990 — ironically that one loss came with Antonio Conte at the Chelsea helm — so we have the full weight of history behind us to propel us forward.

Spurs: Matt Doherty and Ivan Perisic may not start as they work up to full match fitness but with the performances of Ryan Sessegnon and Emerson Royal, Antonio Conte also won't just hand them spots in the starting XI.

Oliver Skipp should be back in training in a few weeks before hopefully being able to contribute again. While must win games don't really exist unless it's a knockout competition or the final few weeks of the season, this is certainly a match that has a lot of weight to it. Spurs will feel better heading into the match as Chelsea have struggled to score without a proper number nine but that won't matter if they can't get past new defensive recruit Kalidou Koulibaly. He was everywhere aganst Everton, rarely out of position while showing what his experience brings next to Thiago Silva. Both teams opened their season with wins although Spurs' 4-1 victory over Southampton was a little flashier than Chelsea grinding out a 1-0 victory over Everton. But at this range of the table, the most important thing is getting three points.
