Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur is undeniably the juiciest game of this weekend’s Premier League calendar.
Spurs take a trip across the capital to visit their bitter rivals on Sunday in what is a major test for the North Londoners.
Quite a few pundits have tipped Tottenham to be the best Premier League team this season outside of Liverpool and Manchester City.
And Antonio Conte’s outfit certainly looked the part last week by dismantling Southampton 4-1 at home.
However, this is a far bigger test of their credentials, but former Lilywhites midfielder Jamie O’Hara is confident that his old side will ‘absolutely destroy’ Thomas Tuchel’s troops.
He told talkSPORT: “I think it’s a good time to play Chelsea. You’re still a little bit on the hangover of last season. I think we’re going to go there and absolutely destroy them.”

You could forgive O’Hara for being a bit over zealous.
After all, many of these Blues players won a Champions League title against Manchester City a little over a year ago, under the same manager as well.
They have a hell of a lot of experience and don’t forget that Chelsea have spent more than any other Premier League outfit this summer.
However, Tottenham have arguably spent better than any other team in England’s top flight and it’ll be fascinating to see just how good Conte’s side are, against an opposition like this.
