It wouldn’t be a London derby on talkSPORT without Jamie O’Hara and Jason Cundy locking horns.
Chelsea enter this one riding serious momentum, looking like a real threat every time they hit top gear despite the occasional defensive hiccup. They bounce back quickly when they slip, recently blowing away Bournemouth 5-1 and grinding out a sharp 2-0 win at Everton thanks to a Pedro Neto brace.
Tottenham, on the other hand, have spent the season fighting uphill under a cloud of heavy pressure. After a brutal winless stretch that had fans pulling their hair out, dropping points to Brentford and Aston Villa, Spurs finally stopped the bleeding with a 3-1 win against Coventry.
Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara predict Chelsea vs Tottenham
Jason Cundy isn’t holding back on TalkSPORT, backing Chelsea to dish out a serious beatdown, talking four, five, or even six-nil on the back of Cole Palmer and Pedro Neto’s form.
Jamie O’Hara is having none of it. While O’Hara mocks Chelsea’s leaks at the back, Cundy insists the Blues have turned a corner since switching to a back four, conceding just once in two games while racking up seven goals against Bournemouth and Everton.
Regardless, O’Hara is quietly confident Spurs can snatch a 2-1 or 3-1 win, but Cundy remains totally unbothered, insisting Tottenham are walking straight into a proper hiding.
Chelsea would be dead wrong to sleep on Spurs just because they won the last two meetings. Derby days don’t care about head-to-head records, the energy is always chaotic, and form goes straight out the window.
Tottenham are quietly finding their feet and changing things up at the back, so if Chelsea walk out expecting an easy afternoon, they could easily get slapped with a reality check.
