Tottenham Hotspur are set to play host to Chelsea tomorrow at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their latest Premier League fixture, and Lawrenson, in his column for BBC Sport, has had his say on who will triumph.
Lawrenson, who also enjoyed stints with Preston North End and Tampa Bay Rowdies, has predicted a 1-1 draw in what is a crucial encounter for both sides.
Chelsea recently sacked Frank Lampard as manager, and replaced him with Thomas Tuchel. Lawrenson has admitted that this will be the German’s biggest test so far.
Tottenham Hotspur enjoyed a good start to their league season, but have struggled in recent weeks.
Tottenham Hotspur missing Harry Kane as Chelsea enter a new era under Tuchel
Lawrenson, who represented Republic of Ireland internationally, stated that the loss of star striker Harry Kane had been problematic for Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham Hotspur signed Welsh winger Gareth Bale on loan last season amid much fanfare, but the 31-year old has failed to impress. Lawrenson pointed this out.
Chelsea, on the other hand, sacked Lampard after a poor run of form. Having invested heavily in the squad last summer, Chelsea have turned to former Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel to get the best out of a talented group of personnel.
The likes of Timo Werner and Kai Havertz have struggled to get going this season, and Chelsea will be keen to ensure that the Germany internationals find their form which earned them a move to the club.
