Spurs seek a win at Stamford Bridge

But Chelsea are more controlled in their possession-based approach, where they can create triangles and overloads in the midfield with their ability to swap formations.
They will have to control the midfield battle on Tuesday and deal with Spurs’ transitions to avoid conceding against the league’s best pressing team. This Chelsea vs Tottenham preview highlights the tactical contrast that could shape the outcome.
