Head-to-Head

Chelsea have a 78-56 advantage against Tottenham in 176 meetings with 42 draws.

Chelsea Form

Chelsea’s form has declined after just one win in four in all competitions.

The Blues thrashed Everton 6-0 at home, with Cole Palmer striking four goals. Consecutive losses to Man City (1-0) and Arsenal (5-0) and a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa followed.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side were 2-0 down at half time at Villa Park and responded with 1.56 expected goals. Noni Madueke pulled a goal back after the break and Conor Gallagher hit an 80th-minute equaliser.

Chelsea Injuries & Team News

Defenders Wesley Fofana, Malo Gusto, Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Levi Colwill and Thiago Silva are out.

Midfielders Roméo Lavia, Enzo Fernández, Lesley Ugochukwu and Carney Chukwuemeka are also out.

Tottenham Form

Tottenham’s top-four hopes have diminished following back-to-back defeats. Spurs are fifth in the Premier League and seven points behind Aston Villa with three fixtures remaining.

The North London side showed positive signs in a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest. This result came before losses at Newcastle (4-0) and against Arsenal at home (3-2).

Spurs trailed Arsenal 3-0 at half time in the North London derby and allowed 1.51 expected goals. Second-half strikes from Cristian Romero and Son Heung-Min weren’t enough to produce a comeback draw.

Tottenham Injuries & Team News

Defensive pair Ryan Sessegnon and Destiny Udogie are out.

Forward Manor Solomon and goalkeeper Fraser Forster are also unavailable due to injury.

Verdict

Chelsea v Tottenham

Chelsea and Tottenham look shaky at the back and more goals can come for the London sides. Most of Palmer’s recent goals have come at Stamford Bridge and he can also hit the net on home turf.
