Chelsea face off with Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League match at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.
Chelsea are currently up in 4th place in the table, while Tottenham are in 16th after finally climbing out of the bottom three.
So who will come out on top in this battle of London rivals this weekend?
Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Chelsea's record against Tottenham, particularly at Stamford Bridge, is absolutely dominant. Tottenham have not won there since April 2018, and in the years that have followed they have tended to lose there, with the last time they took even a point being in August 2022.
Chelsea picked up a strong away win over Everton last weekend, the 0-2 victory being even more notable as it was the first clean sheet that the Blues have kept this season. The win was also the second in a row for Xabi Alonso's side following the international break.
Tottenham finally got off the mark on Monday, claiming their first victory of the season by beating Coventry 3-1 at home. The match saw former Manchester City man Omar Marmoush score his first goal for Spurs, who are now out of the bottom three.
While Chelsea currently sit in 4th place, their defensive record this season has been concerning. They have only kept one clean sheet, in last weekend's win over Everton, and have conceded 13 goals thus far. Only five other Premier League teams have conceded more, with Tottenham not amongst them.
Tottenham were buoyed against Coventry by the return of winger Dejan Kulusevski, who had not played since May 2025 after suffering a knee injury in a match with Crystal Palace. The match also saw James Maddison start for the first time since May 2025, and score his first goal since then too.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction
While Tottenham will come into this match with much more confidence following their first win of the season, Stamford Bridge has historically been a terrible stadium for them to visit.
Regardless of form, Tottenham never seem to claim a result away at Chelsea, even losing to a low-confidence team managed by Callum MacFarlane last season.
This time, while Chelsea do have defensive vulnerabilities, they boast arguably the most dangerous attack in the entire Premier League.
While Spurs boss Roberto de Zerbi has a solid record himself against Chelsea, it's hard to see his side claiming anything here. The prediction is a home win.
Prediction: Chelsea 3-1 Tottenham Hotspur
