Expectations are high for Spurs this campaign, with a strong finish last season to secure Champions League football, supported by a busy summer of transfer activity. Yves Bissouma, Richarlison and Ivan Perisic are among those who arrived in North London.
Conte’s side came from behind to beat Southampton 4-1 in their opening game of the season, and face an early test of their credentials with a trip to face Chelsea on Sunday.
Tottenham have only won once at Stamford Bridge since the first Premier League season in 1992. That came in 2018, when Dele Alli scored twice in a 3-1 win and Conte found himself in the dugout of the home country as Chelsea boss .
Ahead of Sunday’s game, Carragher smashed Spurs’ record, although he believes Conte could be the man to change it after the Italian led his side to a draw at Anfield and win to Manchester City last season .
“I think we’ll see a lot of what Spurs is about today,” said Carragher.
“You said how many times they won [at Stamford Bridge]. It’s embarrassing – two top teams, in London, to come here and only win once in the Premier League era.
“That’s what Antonio Conte has to change. If you look at last season’s record against Liverpool and Manchester City, he’s had some really great results.”
