Chelsea v Spurs Preview | Step Up
Mike Penders gets his chance against Spurs on Saturday night, with Emi Martinez out and the Chelsea number one shirt there to be taken. Chris and Joe measure him against Petr Cech and Thibaut Courtois at the same stage and ask what ten games in goal would need to look like for Xabi Alonso to think twice about Martinez. Joe pleads for patience if a mistake comes. Plus Josh Acheampong’s contract standoff, Jordan Henderson’s midfield influence, and whether Spurs, six straight league defeats to Chelsea and still short of goals, finally break the run. — ★ ★ — Chapters 00:00 Welcome and the Spurs run 01:00 Penders steps in for Martinez 02:00 Age, caps and games: Penders v Cech and Courtois 05:00 What Penders needs to keep the shirt 11:00 Josh Acheampong’s contract question 21:00 Spurs: 18 wins to five 27:30 Henderson and the midfield engine 30:00 Effectively third: the title chat — ★ ★ — Meet the Hosts Chris Sheen and Joe Kevin are lifelong Chelsea fans who’ve been going to Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.
