In this week’s #HitTheTarget episode, our panel discusses the Premier League’s opening round of fixtures for November, culminating in a good old fashioned London Derby as Tottenham host Chelsea!
Listen to the full podcast here:
Ange Postecoglu’s in-form Spurs are quietly emerging as potential title contenders, while Chelsea continues to find themselves mired in mid-table, despite the hefty spending spree they embarked on during this summer’s transfer window.
However, with the West Londoners hosting this encounter, it’s sure to be a formidable challenge. The Blues boast a wealth of attacking talent, and it’s only a matter of time before they hit their stride.
Former Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino will be eager to triumph over his former team, and the electrifying Cole Palmer, who has been consistently delivering outstanding performances, may just be the catalyst for a victory in this showdown.
Expect nothing but fireworks when Brentford and West Ham United go head to head in a small London derby on Saturday. Thomas Frank’s men will be out to build on back-to-back wins over Burnley and Chelsea and they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Hammers in front of home fans.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Everton at the weekend and given their shaky defense, Brentfrod will be highly favoured to win here and pick up all three points from the local derby.
