Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

A London derby that rarely disappoints, Tottenham Hotspur welcome Chelsea on Saturday in what is arguably the standout fixture of this Premier League weekend.

Both teams come into gameweek 10 following contrasting fortunes in the EFL Cup. Spurs were knocked out by Newcastle United, while Chelsea edged past Wolverhampton Wanderers in a thrilling seven-goal encounter.

Tottenham’s hopes of domestic silverware have already taken a hit under Thomas Frank, as his side’s inconsistency was exposed by Newcastle’s aerial dominance at St James’ Park on Wednesday. Two headers from Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade were enough to send Spurs out of the competition, a harsh reality check after their impressive Premier League win just days earlier.

In the league, Spurs recently became the first team to defeat Everton at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium, with Micky van de Ven starring with a brace and Pape Sarr adding another to secure their fifth Premier League victory of the campaign. However, a return of just one win from their last five matches highlights Tottenham’s recent struggles, though the Premier League table still paints a positive picture. Only Arsenal and Bournemouth sit above Spurs, who are five points adrift of the leaders after nine games.

Tottenham’s current league position, however, is not thanks to their home form. The Lilywhites have managed just one point from their last three Premier League fixtures at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with only Burnley suffering defeat there this season. This statistic could be cause for concern as they prepare to face a Chelsea side buoyed by three consecutive away wins.

Chelsea’s latest road victory was a hard-fought 4-3 triumph over Wolves in the EFL Cup, a match that saw the Blues’ youngsters make history by becoming the first Premier League side to have four different scorers aged 21 or under in a single game. Even a red card for Liam Delap couldn’t stop Chelsea from progressing, though their league form remains inconsistent. A shock 2-1 defeat to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge marked their third loss in five Premier League games, leaving Enzo Maresca’s men in ninth place. Only twice before have Chelsea lost four of their opening ten league matches in a Premier League season.

Despite their ups and downs, Chelsea have a strong record at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Their memorable 4-3 win there last season was their fifth Premier League victory at the ground—no visiting team has won more often.

With both teams looking to bounce back and plenty of attacking talent on display, Saturday’s clash promises to deliver the drama and excitement that this fixture so often provides.
