Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head in a mammoth, all-London Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s hopes of lifting their first Premier League crown have gone on the back of an underwhelming 1-1 draw at Brighton last time out, their fifth stalemate in seven league games (W1, L1). However, the ‘Blues’ are in pole position to land a top-four finish as they look to solidify their place in the run-in by extending a six-game unbeaten H2H streak in the Premier League (W5, D1). Notably, Chelsea kept five clean sheets during that six-game sequence, which was the case in both of their wins over Tottenham in their two-legged Carabao Cup semi-final tie earlier this month. Despite going unbeaten in eight consecutive home league outings since a 1-0 loss to Manchester City in late September, Thomas Tuchel’s men have drawn five of their last six Premier League fixtures at Stamford Bridge (W1).

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur made history by turning a 2-1 deficit at 94:52 on the clock into a stunning 3-2 win at Leicester City last time out to extend their unbeaten Premier League run under new boss Antonio Conte to nine matches (W6, D3). Encouraged by their late heroics at the King Power, ‘Spurs’ will be looking to end an embarrassing streak of five competitive H2Hs without scoring. Another scoring blank here would see Tottenham fail to find the net in six successive meetings with a specific opponent for the first time in the club’s history. That’s not all, they have also won just one of their last 31 away league matches against Chelsea (D10, L20), courtesy of a 3-1 triumph in April 2018. On the bright side, they have racked up back-to-back victories in the Premier League London derbies following a run of five consecutive defeats in such contests.
