Any chance of closing down Reece James, lads?

It is all coming down Tottenham's left, Chelsea's right-hand side.

Reece James exchanging passes with Callum Hudson-Odoi but the low cross is cleared away at the near post.

Chelsea continue to come.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has been heavily involved in the early exchanges and curls a shot wide from the edge of the box.

Chelsea are straight into Spurs here, playing and passing at pace and lots of action down their right flank with Reece James in front of Cesar Azpilcueta.

10 minutes gone, zero ambition shown by home side Tottenham so far.

Vinicius will be very nervous as he knows the manager can take him off at half-time. He has big shoes to fill but it's a great opportunity for him.

Chelsea are keeping Spurs at arms length, popping the ball around nicely. A spell of around 20-25 passes before Eric Dier stretches to cut a throughball out.

Ben Davies - no, not that one - has had work to do early on in this contest, getting to the ball before Reece James can get a cross in.

But the first save of the game is made by Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, collecting a left-footed curler from Son Heung-min.

It bounced in front of the Blues number one so he had to keep his eyes on it.

What a waste.

Chelsea a short one from the training ground but Mason Mount is caught offside after getting the ball back.

What's wrong with getting it into the mixer? Put Hugo Lloris under a bit of pressure.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is buzzing around and finds the run of Mason Mount but the cross is blocked and Chelsea have an early corner.

It was a great ball from Azpilicueta, Werner got in between Aurier and Alderweireld and I thought it had gone in.

A sharp opening from Chelsea, they're pushing up on Spurs in the final third.

Hopefully that positivity continues.

A chance in the opening 10 seconds, a flying start from Chelsea.

Cesar Azpilicueta pings a long ball over the top right onto the head of Timo Werner, but the German striker loops a header over.

It had Hugo Lloris scrambling.

Chelsea

Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel tells BT Sport: "(This is) why I joined the Premier League, I enjoyed my first two matches and we are here to win.

"(Clean sheets) gives everybody a good feeling, not only the players but the staff at the side of the pitch too. We have been brave in defending and put in a lot of effort as a team.

"We have a squad with many good players and they deserve to play, we change from game to game and what suits us best. Today it is Reece James' day to show up.

"Everybody prefers to play Spurs without Harry Kane, normally we would love to play the best in the world and Harry Kane is that for sure and now it makes it harder to prepare because you don't know what the solutions the other team are going to find. ."

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho tells BT Sport: "We worked hard, we prepared ourselves good for the game and I am positive. If the players are too then we can do it.

"There are no differences (with Serge Aurier). The other day I watched Inter v Juventus and Arturo Vidal and Cristiano Ronaldo were not happy to be substituted, it happens in football.

"Carlos Vinicius came here to face a difficult challenge and as a team guy he came with the spirit of helping the team when Harry Kane is not on the pitch, let's not compare the boys but he has spirit, a popular guy in the dressing room and a target man. Tonight we feel we need him and trust him.

"A little bit (change in style from Chelsea), that is normal. Thomas Tuchel went in the direction of going from the past of Frank Lampard and Antonio Conte, the style and structure they play now they are very familiar with it."
