On the back of contrasting performances on the South Coast, London rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea headline Sunday's Premier League fixture list with a mouthwatering derby at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

While Enzo Maresca's men made extremely light work of Southampton in a 5-1 midweek mauling, their hosts were fortunate to only lose by a narrow margin in their 1-0 reverse at Bournemouth.

• For Chelsea, Mykhailo Mudryk, Reece James, and Wesley Fofana will miss out due to injuries.

Player(s) to watch:

• Heung-min Son has been the Captain that Ange Postecoglou might have wanted him to be. Spurs have not exactly been consistent, but Son has been producing the goods. Maybe, he could do it again in the London derby.
• Cole Palmer has been sensational for the Blues ever since stepping into the team. He has started the new season in eye-catching form in his new role as a number ten role where he is thriving given the freedom to roam and impact the game. His numbers this season have been mind-blowing, already registering seven goals and five assists from ten games.
