Match of the week
Tottenham vs Chelsea Sunday, August 20 (16:00) Sky Sports Premier League
It’s not often that we’d give a Clasico second billing, but with Real Madrid in control in the Supercopa de Espana and at home in the second leg, that tie might be done and dusted.
There will be much more on the line, on the other hand, when Chelsea visit Tottenham on Sunday. The Blues’ title defence got off to a disastrous start against Burnley and they will be desperate to bounce back at Wembley, but face an uphill struggle to do so.
Eden Hazard and Tiemoue Bakayoko are injured, Diego Costa has been sidelined and Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas will both be suspended, leaving Antonio Conte’s side short of a number of key players.
Tottenham, on the other hand, got up and running with a comfortable 2-0 victory at Newcastle United - their first opening-day win since 2014-15.
They are missing Kieran Trippier and Danny Rose but Kyle Walker-Peters was the man of the match at right-back on Tyneside and Ben Davies, playing on the left, scored Spurs’ second goal.

Match of the week
France vs Netherlands Thursday, August 31 (19:45) Sky Sports Football
This World Cup qualifier is of vital importance to both nations.
France and the Netherlands both find themselves trailing Sweden, who will play Bulgaria and Belarus away from home during this international break, in Group A.
If Sweden can come through those two matches unscathed they will be in an excellent position to qualify or at least secure a play-off spot, leaving room for only one other team in the group to join them.
The Dutch have already sacked Danny Blind during this current cycle, with Dick Advocaat now at the helm.
The jury is still out, meanwhile, on Didier Deschamps, who despite 2016’s European Championship final appearance has not quite figured out how to get the best out of arguably the most talented pool of players in the world.
A win for Les Bleus, who are three points ahead of the Netherlands, at Stade de France would all but assure them of a place in Russia, but any other result and the pressure will really be on the World Cup winner in the dugout.
