Tottenham vs Chelsea Betting Preview
Tottenham head into this clash on a mixed run of results. Ante Postecoglu's men ended the month of November with a jaw-dropping 4-0 win over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. Then, they recorded an underwhelming 1-1 draw against Fulham on early December and were a complete no-show against Bournemouth last time out, suffering a disappointing 1-0 loss. Other than the impressive victory over Man City, the Spurs have not won any of their last six Europa League and Premier League matches. They fallen to tenth place, and a defeat at home could potentially bring about criticism for Ange Postecoglou.
Chelsea secured a convincing 5-1 win over Southampton on Wednesday night and have cemented their 2nd place in the Premier League standings. They trail league leaders Liverpool by 7 points ahead of this matchweek. By beating their intercity rivals, the Blues want to stay within striking distance of the Reds as this week's Merseyside Derby has been postponed due to storm Darragh. Enzo Maresca's men are on a four-match winning streak in all competitions, a run that also includes a 3-0 home win over Aston Villa on December 1. The Blues have collected 16 points in 7 away games so far (W5 D1 L1), with their only defeat coming at Anfield Road against Liverpool (1-2).
As to direct encounters, Chelsea have won five of their seven games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in all competitions (D1 L1). The Spurs were thrashed 4-1 and received two red cards the last time they hosted the Blues in November 2023.
Best Odds
Tottenham are underdogs here, despite playing at home. The home win is backable at around 12/5 (3.40). The draw is available at 31/10 (4.10) while Chelsea are 11/10 (or 2.12 with non-UK bookmakers).
Probable Line-Ups
Tottenham (4-3-3): Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Romero, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski; Son, Johnson, Solanke
Pedro Porro and Heung Min Son were rested in midweek but will be restored in the starting XI. Rodrigo Bentancur is still banned from domestic football, which means there won't be any rest for Yves Bissouma. Up front, Brennan Johnson will continue on the right, with Dominic Solanke leading the line while Richarlison remains injured. First-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is also injured, so Fraser Forster will continue between the sticks. Postecoglu will be desperate for Cristian Romero to return and partner Radu Dragusin, otherwise Archi Gray's services may be needed in central defence.
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez, Cucurella, Colwill, Disasi, Caicedo; Lavia, Fernandez; Sancho, Neto, Palmer, Jackson
Enzo Maresca's only selection dilemma may be around the left and right wings, with Jadon Sancho likely to be given the nod over Joao Felix and Pedro Neto favorite over Noni Madueke. Central striker Nicolas Jackson did not play in midweek but will return into the starting line-up.Moises Caicedo could be moved in the right-back position as Reece James is out through injury once again. Romeo Lavia and Enzo Fernandez are expected to anchor the midfield while Axel Disasi will partner Levi Colwill at the heart of the back.
Our Tottenham vs Chelsea Predictions
Defense is a huge concern as they have kept just one clean sheet in their last 22 Premier League home matches (4-0 agains Everton this season). Another defensive injury crisis may force the youngster Archie Gray to play as centre back and even though he has fared well in his stint at right back, his inexperience is certainly concerning.
On the other side, Chelsea boast the best attack of the league, with 31 goals scored in 14 games so far. Moreover, they have created more Expected Goals (xG) than any other team.
As a consequence, we bet on Chelsea to earn all three points on Sunday afternoon. A 3-1 Chelsea win is our pick in the Correct Score market.
Nicolas Jackson netted a hat-trick in this exact fixture last season and we back the Senegalese striker to find the back of the net.
