Sun Dec 08 17:30:19 UTC 2024: ## Chelsea’s Goal-Scoring Spree Masks Defensive Concerns Ahead of Tottenham Clash

**London, Dec 8, 2024** – Chelsea’s prolific attack, boasting a league-leading 31 goals in 14 Premier League matches, is overshadowing defensive vulnerabilities, according to manager Enzo Maresca. While Chelsea sits second in the standings and enjoys a record-breaking goals-per-game ratio of 2.6 across all competitions this season, Maresca acknowledges significant room for improvement before challenging top contenders like Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool.

The Blues’ impressive 5-1 midweek victory over Southampton highlights their offensive firepower, but their meager three clean sheets in 14 league games point to a defensive fragility. Maresca stressed the need to address this imbalance, stating, “We have to do many more things good, not just score goals. Avoid conceding goals.”

Chelsea faces a crucial test against Tottenham Hotspur at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday. The match will be broadcast live on the Star Sports network and streamed on Disney+Hotstar.
