Chelsea v Tottenham

Chelsea vs Tottenham Preview

Chelsea steadied the ship somewhat with a useful looking point in a highly entertaining 2-2 draw away from home at Aston Villa on the weekend following a previously humiliating 5-0 thrashing at the hands of north London side, Arsenal, while Tottenham were dealt a second defeat on the trot on Sunday afternoon in the north London derby at home to Arsenal with Spurs losing 3-2.

Despite that heavy loss to Arsenal though, Chelsea have nevertheless proved they are made of sterner stuff these days under manager Mauricio Pochettino as The Blues have suffered just the one defeat in their previous 10 games in the Premier League which is a vast improvement upon results earlier in the season.

Within these previous 10 games, Chelsea have claimed important wins against the likes of Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Manchester United and Everton, the latter being a particularly emphatic 6-0 thrashing of Everton, so the hosts must be respected here at Stamford Bridge.

Indeed, Chelsea have now won seven of their last nine games on home soil at Stamford Bridge in the English top flight while goals also look set to feature as seven of Chelsea's last 10 home games have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.

Tottenham's Champions League ambitions were dealt another blow in Sunday's north London derby 3-2 defeat at the hands of Arsenal despite staging a dangerous looking comeback after trailing 3-0 down but nevertheless the visitors now trail fourth placed Aston Villa by a seven-point margin.

Tottenham had previously been handed a heavy defeat away from home at Newcastle United in a 4-0 loss which makes it seven goals conceded in their last two matches in the Premier League which will be a real concern for manager Ange Postecoglou as he looks to lift his side for this upcoming all-London clash at Stamford Bridge.

Spurs have produced a bit of a mixed bag of results in the English top flight in recent weeks as the north London outfit have collected vital wins against Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Luton Town and Nottingham Forest whilst also slipping to four defeats as well.

Losses to Wolves, Fulham, Newcastle United and Arsenal suggest it may be safer to opt for the goals market in this upcoming encounter especially as six of Tottenham's last 10 games overall have resulted in Over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring as well.
