The press against a shaky defense
Chelsea have conceded an unenviable amount of goals this season, it’s quite ostensible. And it’s the product of a leaky defense that has been an exact opposite of the Spurs defense.They haven’t been good on the ball and have looked nervous on the ball at the back.
And Tottenham, who adhere to a high pressing game in every game of theirs, know how to nip the ball off in areas close to the goal. Arsenal were careless with the ball and there were numerous occasions when they gave the ball away, succumbing to Spurs’ high press. And that was at the Emirates- away from home.
And White Hart Lane is a more closely cut stadium, where pressing sides up the pitch is relatively easier and the opposition loses the ball easier. And Chelsea will come across a similar forward line.
