The infamous clash was a violent affair between these two rivals in May 2016, with Spurs being held to a 2-2 draw and their title hopes having evaporated.

Things are different this time, but Spurs need a result to effectively keep their Premier League status, meaning the stakes couldn't be any higher…

Quick Picks

• Our pick: Draw
• Value bet: Under 2.5 Goals
• Long shot: 1-1 Correct Score

Betting Preview

Chelsea won't roll over when they play against one of their fiercest rivals, despite seeing their season fall away in recent months.

The Blues have been dreadful, failing to win in the league since their MW29 encounter against Aston Villa.

There have been seven games in the EPL since then and a change of manager, with Calum McFarlane filling in until the end of the season.

In those games, Chelsea lost six in a row before recording a 1-1 draw with Liverpool before the FA Cup Final. That goal and one scored against Nottingham Forest were the first they had scored after failing to score in five straight.

Tottenham have been far worse all season. Roberto De Zerbi was brought in to try to save a sinking ship, and appears to have improved things slightly at a crucial moment.

Since coming in ahead of the Sunderland game five games ago, Spurs have picked up eight points from 15, with two wins, two draws, and one defeat (his first game).

Still, a tough ask against Chelsea awaits them, where Spurs haven't been great. Their last win there was in 2018, but before that, some 28 years had passed since their last win.

Betting Markets to Watch

The betting odds understandably have Chelsea as the early favourites, perhaps with the record noted above having a significant influence on how the odds have been priced.

It's worth noting that Chelsea have won the last five matches in a row. Still, given what's on the line and how the two teams have been playing, a 'draw' warrants significant exploration.

By extension, we think there could be value in the 'Under 2.5 goals' market hitting. The two teams have been struggling for goals.

We think the BTTS will hit, as both have shown defensive vulnerabilities that have led to conceded goals, making the 1-1 correct score worth value.
