I am not a fan of Thursday night football but when we are living in such strange circumstances, courtesy of this damned pandemic, it is something I will have to put up with.
This Thursday, Chelsea make the short trip to North London to take on Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League fixture.
If Thomas Tuchel has been thrown in at the deep end, the two games he has taken care of the side so far bode well.
But the German will surely know by now the expectation levels when it comes to facing Tottenham Hotspur – you must not lose.
Naturally, the fixture has that added spice with Jose Mourinho in charge of the opposition, hopefully Tuchel can wipe the smile off of his face.
As is the norm, we are running our Match Day Moments feature where we ask you to leave your views, on a variety of subjects including, but not limited to:
1 – The build up to this big London derby.
2 – The starting eleven selected by Thomas Tuchel.
3 – The action as it happens in North London.
4 – Your thoughts in that immediate period that follows the sounding of the final whistle.
Let us hope it is us who are all smiles come tomorrow night and not that lot from N17.

Chelsea Midfielder Set For Loan Spell Claim
Just over a week working with the squad , not sure Tuchel knows his best formation & players, but lets hope we get the 3 pts anyways .
I am not happy that lampard lost his job,at the same time I am happy that we’ve got a new coach cos the way the team has played so far under Tuchel one can not but fail to notice some tactical nouse in the team’s performance so far. Wish the lads a great performance against spurs tonight.
1-0 at the half . We are playing a much faster pace today …. Tuchel looks to have imposed a bit of his philosophy already. Only hope Silva’s injury is not serious.
Am not comfortable with Rudigar. He doesn’t seem to realize that Silva is out injured, he is being too casual at the moment.
Yes, Rudiger is straying off his line too often
Lloris good save from Mount, else we would be up a brace. We need that 2nd goal. else we can regret it
Spurs threatening now, mendy needs to make his first save
Kovacic should not have been substituted.
Azpi gives up a foul in a dangerous area.
We have survived 2 scares in teh last few minutes …. without Silva we just don’t look good at the back.
3 minutes to hodl on
Squeaky bum time
1-0 it ends … precious 3 points
Up to 6th & 4 points out of touch with 4th placed Liverpool. Tuchel has really improved us. But the Silva injury is worrying , hope he is back soon.
