It’s London derby time again, and you can almost feel the buzz already. Tottenham host Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what promises to be another fiery Premier League showdown. Both sides are coming off very different results — Spurs thrashed Everton 3-0 away, while Chelsea were stunned 2-1 at home by Sunderland.
The stakes are high, the form lines are intriguing, and the atmosphere will be electric. So, let’s break down everything you need to know before kick-off.
Thomas Frank’s Tottenham come into this one full of belief after a dominant win at Goodison Park. Centre-back Micky van de Ven was the unlikely hero last time out, bagging a brace and earning Coral’s Man of the Match award. His confidence — and that of the whole squad — is sky-high heading into this derby.
However, Spurs are still dealing with a long list of injuries. Dejan Kulusevski, Dominic Solanke, Yves Bissouma, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, and James Maddison remain sidelined. That means Thomas Frank will rely on the same strong spine that comfortably beat Everton, with players like João Palhinha and Rodrigo Bentancur controlling midfield and Randal Kolo Muani leading the line.
Chelsea, meanwhile, are still licking their wounds after a frustrating loss to Sunderland. Despite controlling 69% possession and creating plenty of chances, they just couldn’t turn dominance into points. The Blues also have several key absentees. Cole Palmer, Liam Delap, Benoit Badiashile, Levi Colwill, and Dario Essugo are all unavailable through injury.
That means Enzo Maresca will once again turn to João Pedro up front, supported by Pedro Neto and Alejandro Garnacho, with Marc Guiu also pushing for a start after finding the net last time out.
Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1)
Guglielmo Vicario; Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, Djed Spence; João Palhinha, Rodrigo Bentancur; Brennan Johnson, Mohammed Kudus, Xavi Simons; Randal Kolo Muani.
Manager: Thomas Frank
Chelsea (4-2-3-1)
Robert Sanchez; Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, Josh Acheampong, Marc Cucurella; Moisés Caicedo, Enzo Fernández; Pedro Neto, João Pedro, Alejandro Garnacho; Marc Guiu.
Manager: Enzo Maresca
Tottenham look like the team with more momentum right now. They’ve scored in every league match this season and just put three past Everton away from home. Chelsea, on the other hand, are inconsistent — dominant in possession but not clinical enough in front of goal.
With both sides likely to go for it, backing Both Teams to Score (BTTS) feels smart. Spurs’ home form has been mixed, but their attack is fluid and confident. Chelsea will still pose problems going forward, especially with creative threats like Enzo Fernández and Garnacho.
Best Tip: Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
This has all the makings of a tight, entertaining derby. Tottenham have rediscovered their scoring touch and shown real defensive organisation, while Chelsea continue to build under Maresca’s possession-based style.
Expect a battle in midfield — Palhinha and Bentancur versus Caicedo and Fernández will be a real highlight. Spurs might not dominate the ball, but they look more ruthless at the moment. Add home advantage to that, and you’ve got the recipe for another strong Tottenham performance.
Match Prediction: Tottenham to win. Bet with bet365.
Chelsea won’t go down easily, but Tottenham’s sharper finishing and recent confidence could make the difference.
Correct Score Prediction: Tottenham 2–1 Chelsea
It’s a repeat of what we’ve seen in their past meetings — competitive, full of energy, but Spurs edging it thanks to individual brilliance and a bit of home support magic.
Correct Score Prediction: Tottenham 2–1 Chelsea. Bet with bet365.
Both teams are capable of scoring, and the stats back it up. In five of Chelsea’s last six matches, we’ve seen three or more goals, while Spurs’ attacking form has been on the rise.
Given how open both sides can be, Over 2.5 Goals looks the way to go. Neither team is built to sit back, and with quality attacking players on both ends, the goals should flow.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

He’s on fire after his brace against Everton, and with Chelsea’s defensive absences, there’s every chance he could make another key contribution.
