Tottenham's run has been tougher. They're winless in the league so far, beaten by Newcastle, Brentford and Aston Villa, with goalless draws against Everton and Nottingham Forest making up the rest.

There's a wider sample covering cups, friendlies and last season that shows both clubs winning more often than their current league placing suggests. That's not proof of current form, though, since it mixes competitions and seasons.

Tottenham going into a month without a league win is the standout concern here.

Comparative Team Statistics: Chelsea vs Tottenham

Head-to-head record

Chelsea have won 14 of the last 20 meetings between these two across all competitions, with Tottenham winning just twice and four games drawn.

The most recent competitive fixture, in the league last November, finished 1-0 to Chelsea away from home, and they also won both Premier League meetings last season. Spurs did beat them in a pre-season friendly this past August, but that carries little weight for a competitive game.

History leans heavily towards Chelsea, even if recent margins have often been tight.

Where they sit right now

Chelsea are 10th in the Premier League with seven points from five games, having won two, drawn one and lost two, scoring ten and conceding twelve.

Tottenham are down in 20th with just two points from five games. They're still without a win, drawing twice and losing three times, with only two goals scored and eight let in.

That's a big early gap between the two sides, though five games is still a small sample this early in the season.

Chelsea's attacking options

Chelsea's scoring has been shared around. João Pedro has three goals and three assists in just four matches, Cole Palmer has two goals and two assists in five, M. Rogers has three goals in five, and J. Hato has chipped in two assists.

There's no equivalent breakdown available for Tottenham's squad, so it's not possible to compare depth directly from this data.

Spread-out goal threats like this can be awkward for a defence trying to focus on one man.
