Tottenham Hotspur take on Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in a high-stakes London derby.
Tottenham Hotspur will look to take another step towards securing Premier League status for next season when they travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea on May 19.
Spurs remain unbeaten in their last four league games, a run of form that has them two points clear of the relegation zone. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make it three wins in a row on Monday, as Leeds United held them to a 1-1 draw in North London. In the end, it turned out to be a gritty point for the home side.
Now, Roberto De Zerbi and Co. must prepare for one of the most high-stakes meetings in West London. In the penultimate game of the season, Chelsea, who lost the FA Cup final to Manchester City on Saturday, will be aiming to deal a potential knockout blow to Tottenham’s survival hopes. This is shaping up to be a fiery encounter between London’s two bitter rivals.

Team News for Chelsea vs. Tottenham
Chelsea welcomed back Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho and Robert Sanchez against Manchester City in the FA Cup final. However, it looks like Joao Pedro tweaked a thigh muscle early on in the FA Cup final, but he soldiered on until the 86th minute. He could be doubtful for the game.
Meanwhile Spurs have a lengthy injury list, which includes Cristian Romero and Xavi Simons. De Zerbi is hopeful Dominic Solanke will return from a hamstring injury at Stamford Bridge, while James Maddison made his long-awaited comeback from an ACL injury against Leeds. It is unknown when Guglielmo Vicario will be back, having missed the last five games after undergoing groin surgery.
TTLB prediction for Chelsea vs. Tottenham
This particular encounter between Chelsea and Tottenham looks a little trickier for the favourites. Perhaps the odds will be a bit tilted towards Spurs, considering their current good form. The Blues have not won a Premier League game for ages, but when it comes to facing Tottenham, they somehow provide their best version.
The Pensioners hold a great record against the Lilywhites, losing just once at Stamford Bridge. This record will not inspire much confidence in the Tottenham camp ahead of the game. Plus, the hosts will do everything possible to strike a monumental blow to our survival bid hopes, and after losing the FA Cup final, the players would want to put up a fight in front of their fans.
De Zerbi must come up with a strong game plan to nullify Cole Palmer and Co. All things considered, though, our players will believe they have an opportunity to spring a surprise and get a positive result in enemy territory.
Score prediction: Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham
