Tottenham host Chelsea on Sunday in the second round of Premier League fixtures and it is set to be a fiery encounter between the London rivals.

Spurs will be facing their first home match of the campaign at Wembley and will be looking to follow on from their 2-0 away victory at Newcastle.

Meanwhile, Chelsea suffered a shock 3-2 home loss to Burnley and will want an automatic response.

The Blues pipped Spurs to the Premier League crown last season and Sunday will be a big chance for both sides to prove their title credentials for the new campaign.

They were the two outstanding teams in the division last year and have plenty of match winners available to them.

Antonio Conte’s side won their home league fixture against Spurs 2-1 last season, but Mauricio Pochettino’s men returned their favour with a 2-1 win at home.

Here, This Is Futbol has picked out three individual battles that will go a long way to deciding who will win this hotly anticipated clash.
