One manager has responded to a question from the media in fear this week ahead of meeting Chelsea in their next Premier League game.
Chelsea are certainly a very feared side right now as their form continues to go from good to incredible this season.
And it is Tottenham who are now fearing facing them on Sunday afternoon in a game that now, Chelsea should really be looking to take all three points in after thrashing Southampton earlier this week.
Spurs are now injury hit at the back, and they also lost another one last night in the shape of Ben Davies.
Their manager Ange Postecoglou says Davies has a hamstring injury, a result of having to play him every single minute of every match. He also called the corner defending a “madness” for Bournemouth’s goal that saw them beat Spurs 1-0 in the league last night.
So they are now going into the Chelsea game after a poor defeat and also a lack of defender options in the squad.
Chelsea should feel confident
Chelsea will be well up for this game but they should feel even more confident now after the above events. The Blues will need to make the most of this and get at Spurs whilst they are down.
Postecoglou was asked last night, “are you going to sign a defender in January?”
He responded: “That’s not going to help us against Chelsea on Sunday.”
Obviously he will be fearing the Chelsea game even more now as we edge closer to Sunday. The fact his side also had to play on a Thursday night in a competitive Premier League game as well is only going to hinder things, due to the fact Chelsea played on Wednesday so they had an extra day to recover.
