Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher has explained what he thinks Antonio Conte needs to change at Tottenham Hotspur this season.

Carragher spoke on Sky Sports today ahead of Spurs’ clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and labelled their record at the ground ‘embarrassing’.

The North London club have only beaten Chelsea away from home once in the Premier League era and that win came under former boss Mauricio Pochettino in 2018.

Conte fell to defeat against Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea side three times last season and the Italian will be hoping his side can turn their fortunes around later on today.

What Conte needs to change at Tottenham

Speaking on Sky Sports, Carragher said Conte will have to change Tottenham’s performances against their London rivals away from home.

“I think we’ll see a lot of what Spurs are about today and I don’t mean that in terms of the result,” he said.

“You just mentioned how many times they’ve won here (Stamford Bridge). I mean, it’s embarrassing.

“You know, the two top teams in London, to only come here and win once in the Premier League era.

“And that’s what Antonio Conte has to change. If you look at the record last season, against Manchester City and Liverpool, they got really big results.

“But in terms of challenging the top teams and the talk of Spurs this season and what they’ve brought in, I actually think it might wind Chelsea up a little bit.”

Conte’s side travel to Stamford Bridge today in what is their first London derby of the season.

The Italian will be hoping his side can put in a more promising display after underwhelming performances against the Blues last season.

Spurs lost all four games against their rivals last campaign and failed to score a single goal against them.

But there seems to be more belief surrounding the Tottenham squad after a brilliant end to last season and a strong showing in their opening Premier League game against Southampton.

But the Liverpool legend is right, if Spurs want to challenge at the top-end of the table this season, they will need to start picking up results in these big games away from home.
