Let's be honest about Chelsea. 4th. Won 5-1 and 2-0 since the break. In form. BUT: 13 conceded in 7. Lost 3-0 at Brentford. No Reece James. No Emi Martinez in goal. Dangerous? YES. Unbeatable? NO. Where do we hurt them? 👇

RATE THE SIGNING: Omar Marmoush £60m obligation. 9 Premier League games, 1 goal, 0 assists. My verdict: 3/10. A £60m striker gets judged on impact and goals, and one in nine games isn't enough yet. What's yours out of 10? 👇 Apparently Spurs are ready to go big for a long-term No.9 if the right one is out there. Marmoush has the rest of the season to make sure he's the answer, not the reason they go looking.

Mohammed Kudus is our top Premier League assister with 3. 🎯 He set up Gallagher v Villa, Maddison v Coventry and Gray v Palace. Does he need to start scoring too, or is creating enough? 👇 Still no league goal of his own this season.

Leeds stung. But zoom out and this is a team going the right way. 🤍 Bottom of the league after five games. Ten points from the five since. What's your mark out of 10 for the season so far? 👇 We go into the break 11th, 4 points off 5th, with Savio, Tosin and Maddison all apparently due to return.

MY PREDICTION: Leeds 1-1 Spurs Three wins on the bounce, but I think asking for a fourth at Elland Road before the international break might be one step too far. Hopefully they prove me wrong. What's YOUR score? 👇

MY PREDICTION: Spurs 2-0 Palace 🔥 Palace have won 3 of the last 4 league meetings. That run ends Saturday. Two wins on the bounce, a clean sheet at the Bridge, and they've conceded 19, the most in the league. What's your score? 👇 They're 17th on 7 points. We're 14th on 9. Win this and the table starts looking very different. 🤍

The last time Kulusevski played Palace, his knee went after 18 minutes. Nearly 18 months later, they're back at our place. Full circle. He's had his Coventry cameo. How many minutes do you think he will get? 👇

Odobert and Xavi are going to COOK under De Zerbi when they're back. 🔥 Pace, flair and a manager who wants us on the front foot. Those two are made for this system. Which of them are you most excited to see? 👇 Odobert is projected for December and Xavi for January per The Standard, so we're still waiting. Imagine them alongside a fit squad.

Let's be honest: Ben Davies is the most underrated signing of our modern era 🤍 366 games. Of everyone we've signed since 2012, only Son and Lloris have played more. That's more than Vertonghen and more than Eriksen. Who's YOUR best signing of the modern era? 👇 He's never the flashiest, but he's always there. Left-back, centre-back, back three, whatever he's asked to do. Players like that hold a squad together.

Let's be honest: Palace turn up Saturday in a bad way. Beaten 0-2 at HOME by Newcastle. Booed off. Pressure on Sage. Now a cup tie at Fulham tonight, three days before they come to us. This is the week to hit them. Statement win Saturday? Thoughts? 👇 Palace were the better side in the first half on Sunday, then fell apart after the break. Osula scored on 47 and Barnes on 58. Mateta can still hurt you, so no complacency. But the confidence is draining out of them.

ACADEMY WATCH: Luca Williams-Barnett 💎 In the youth teams since Under-10s, scoring and creating in PL2, and he's already made the league bench. He's ready for minutes. My prediction: he makes his Premier League debut before Christmas and we finish top 8 with kids like him in the mix. Top 8, or are you not convinced? Thoughts? 👇

Silver lining nobody's talking about 👇 Our U21s are TOP of PL2, unbeaten, four wins on the bounce. Sunday they came from behind in a storm at Boro and won it in the 93rd minute. Who's the next one to break into the first team? Thoughts? 👇

MY VAR VERDICT: Palmer should've gone earlier. He barged into Fernandes' head while he was on his knees. That's a RED for me. VAR checked it and it stayed a booking. Straight red or yellow? Thoughts? 👇 The second yellow on Gallagher was spot on, and in the end it didn't cost us. We won 2-0 and kept 11 on the pitch. All we ask is consistency.

Two Ballon d'Or winners. Both wore OUR shirt. 🏆 Modric won it in 2018. Kane won it in 2026. So who's next? Is a future Ballon d'Or winner in our squad or academy right now? Thoughts? 👇

Everyone's talking about Tel's goal. I'm talking about the clean sheet. 🧤 First win at the Bridge without conceding since December 1986. Chelsea managed 7 attempts, their fewest in a league game all season. Best defensive display of the season so far? 👇 Kinsky saved from Palmer, Henderson and Rogers while it was 0-0, and Van Hecke's pressure forced the own goal. The back line won it before Tel finished it.

Silver lining from losing Maddison early in the second half: Conor Gallagher. He came on against his old club, brought the legs, and was the one Palmer stood on for the red. Derby energy. Should Gallagher be starting in midfield on Saturday? Thoughts? 👇

Honest take: Mathys Tel HAS to start against Palace. That goal wasn't luck. He picked it up deep, ran at them and buried it low into the corner. That's exactly what we've been missing. Start him Saturday, or keep him as the impact sub? Thoughts? 👇

WE WON AT THE BRIDGE. 2-0. CLEAN SHEET. 🔥 Not a smash-and-grab either. We bossed the ball, Kinsky kept us level when it mattered, and Tel finished it in style. Is this the performance that finally kicks our season off? Thoughts? 👇
