Stat Attack
- Chelsea have lost just one of their last 15 league meetings against Tottenham (W12, D2, L1).
- Tottenham are winless in their last eight league visits to Chelsea (D2, L6).
- Chelsea have won two of their last three league meetings against Tottenham by 1-0 results, except for a 2-1 win in May 2026 at home.
- No Chelsea player this season has registered more shots in the top flight than Cole Palmer (23).
- No Tottenham player is yet to score more than one league goal this season.
Prediction
Now sat fourth in the table after a clinical second-half performance at Everton in which they often were frustrated by the Toffees’ resilient defence, Chelsea now have a chance to continue building momentum after two dominant wins because their attacking quality is finally clicking.
Tottenham meanwhile are coming into this game off the back of having broken their winless league duck this season with a clinical win over Coventry, yet they didn’t exactly start the second half well but showed a brilliant reaction with two goals after having conceded an equaliser.
This fixture therefore hasn’t come at an ideal time for Spurs given their poor record at Stamford Bridge in recent decades when they ideally need another win to build momentum, but I just think that Chelsea will be too strong for them so this is about limiting their loss and nicking a goal if can.
Prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham
