Match Preview
Chelsea Preview
Chelsea saw a four-match winning run in all competitions come to an end with a 1-0 loss at Arsenal just prior to the international fixtures. Enzo Maresca’s side are clinging onto fourth spot in the Premier League, a point ahead of Manchester City and two ahead of Newcastle United.
At home the Blues have been rife, winning the last four Premier League games at the Bridge, with the last two without conceding a goal. Chelsea will want to take advantage of Tottenham’s poor away form, with Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson potentially returning.
Likely XI: Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
Tottenham Preview
Spurs endured a dismal 2-0 defeat to Fulham in their last match before the interval, and sit 14th in the standings and far from European contention. The pressure is mounting on manager Ange Postecoglou, and defeat here would see him become the first Spurs manager to lose his opening four league clashes against Chelsea.
Tottenham have found London derbies elusive this season, managing only 10 points from nine matches. But Son Heung-min is expected to return to the starting XI, and Tottenham will be eager to end their dreadful run against opponents at Stamford Bridge.
Likely XI: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Spence; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Son.
Key Stats
Chelsea have beaten Tottenham in more Premier League matches (36) and scored more Premier League goals (120) against them than any other opponent.
Let’s just say that it’s not the best record: Tottenham have only won one of their last 39 league games at Stamford Bridge over the past three-and-a-half decades.
Tottenham have now lost five of their nine London derbies this season.
Chelsea have recorded consecutive home clean sheets in the Premier League.
Player Props
Anytime Goalscorer: Cole Palmer (+140)
Palmer is Chelsea’s leading goalscorer and may return from injury.] He’s been ruthless in big games and will be crucial in attack.
Son Heung-min, Over 1.5 Shots on Target (+110)
Should Son be the one who starts, he'll be Spurs' primary source of attack. In the league, he averages 2.2 shots on target per 90 minutes.
Final Prediction
Chelsea have a dominant record against Spurs, and strong home form should see them installed as favorites. Palmer and Jackson should prevail in a close fight, if they return.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
