Tottenham returned to winning ways with an impressive win over Preston and they are aiming to remain close to the top with three points from this match. Burnley continued the excellent home run by beating Sunderland, before being eliminated from the Carling Cup by Barsnley.

Preston are doing fairly well this season and they are again one of the candidates for the promotion to the Premier League. This will be opportunity for them to test their skills against a top Premiership team and maybe take advantage of Tottenham’s poor form and spring a surprise.

Chelsea continued the excellent run of results with the hard fought victory over Porto but they are now set to face their rivals in London derby. Tottenham ended their winning run as they lost at home to Manchester United and Spurs are aiming to return to winning ways.

Tottenham are tied on points with leaders Chelsea having won all four league games and if they can beat Manchester, then anything is possible. United continued the winning run despite another below-par performance, but they will have to play a great game if they want to take all three points from White Hart Lane.

Tottenham are the surprise leaders after three Premiership rounds and Spurs are eager to extend the winning run. Birmingham, on the other hand, failed to beat Stoke last weekend but they have been playing well lately and are definitely not without chances at White Hart Lane.

Championship side Doncaster will host high-flying Spurs and the hosts will try to take advantage of the fact Tottenham are likely to field a weakened side. However, that weakened side could easily win the Championship and the hosts therefore don’t have much to hope for in this game.

This London derby should be very interesting as both sides enter the match in high spirits. West Ham defeated Wolves away in the opening round, whereas Tottenham have already won two games, beating Liverpool and Hull. There is no need to say that both teams will be going for a win.

Hull produced a very good performance at Stamford Bridge and they were very unlucky not to have taken at least one point. Tottenham, on the other hand, defeated Liverpool at home and Spurs will be looking to make it two in a row.

Both sides have high ambitions for this season, but these are the teams that tend to disappoint their fans. Tottenham want European qualification and they are even talking about top 4 push, while Liverpool just want the title. The game at White Hart Lane will be a good test for both sides to see where they are at the moment.
