Comments, predictions Chelsea vs Tottenham: Subdue the rooster

Latest Chelsea vs Tottenham squad information

Chelsea will be without Mykhaylo Mudryk (suspended), along with hamstring injuries Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman. However, Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke have returned to training and could be in the squad.

If Palmer and Jackson recover in time, Pedro Neto could be pushed to the right wing, while Jadon Sancho and Christopher Nkunku will compete for a starting spot on the left.

Reece James played in midfield against Arsenal but could be restored to right-back, while Wesley Fofana is likely to play centre-back alongside Levi Colwill. Maresca also has to decide whether to continue with Robert Sanchez – who has started three of the last four games – or give Filip Jorgensen a chance in goal.

For Tottenham, Radu Dragusin is certain to miss the rest of the season with an anterior cruciate ligament injury. However, Lucas Bergvall (illness), Dejan Kulusevski (foot), Kevin Danso (hamstring) and Richarlison (calf) will all be assessed ahead of the game.

If Danso is unavailable, Cristian Romero could partner Micky van de Ven at centre-back. Postecoglou will also consider using the in-form Djed Spence at right or left-back to replace Pedro Porro or Destiny Udogie.

Captain Son Heung-min has been on the bench for the last three Premier League games, but could return to the starting line-up on the left in place of Mathys Tel. Meanwhile, James Maddison, Pape Matar Sarr and Wilson Odobert are also fighting for a starting spot.

Latest Chelsea vs Tottenham football review

Chelsea's run of four consecutive wins in all competitions was halted before the international break, when they lost 1-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates on 16 March.

Mikel Merino’s first-half header condemned Chelsea to a third defeat in their last five Premier League games. Enzo Maresca’s side are struggling to hold on to a top-four spot, just a point above Manchester City and two ahead of Newcastle, who have a game in hand, while 11th-placed Brentford are just eight points behind with nine games remaining.

Chelsea – aiming to avoid a third successive top-five finish – hold a slim advantage in the race for a Champions League place, with three games against teams in the bottom half of the table ahead, as well as a Conference League quarter-final against Legia Warsaw.

Chelsea will be given a huge boost at Stamford Bridge, having won their last four Premier League games there, keeping clean sheets in their last two against Southampton (4-0) and Leicester (1-0). In the last five seasons, Chelsea have only won three consecutive home games without conceding once – between April and May 2024, a run that included a 2-0 win over Tottenham.

The Blues can expect a positive result against Spurs, having won more games (36) and scored more goals (120) against Tottenham than any other Premier League opponent. In the history of the competition, only three teams have scored more goals against a single opponent than Chelsea have against Spurs (120): Arsenal against Everton, Man United against Everton, and Liverpool against Newcastle – all 124.

Like Chelsea, Tottenham also failed to pick up all the points before the international break, losing 0-2 at Fulham. Second-half goals from Rodrigo Muniz and former Spurs player Ryan Sessegnon condemned Ange Postecoglou's side to their 15th Premier League defeat of the season, leaving them 14th and 10 points adrift of the top half.

A Europa League spot could be Tottenham's only hope, with Postecoglou's future in doubt after an "unacceptable" defeat at Craven Cottage. If he loses to Chelsea, he will become the first Spurs manager to lose his first four Premier League games against the Blues.

Tottenham have also picked up the fewest points in London derbies this season (10 points – level with Brentford), having lost five of their nine games (W3 D1). Historically, only in 1987-88, 1989-90, 2003-04 (all 6 losses) and 2004-05 (7 losses) have they suffered more defeats in a single London derby season.

Tottenham are looking for their first win at Stamford Bridge since a 3-1 win in April 2018, but they come into this game on the back of a poor away form – losing eight of their 14 games this season. The last time Spurs lost more away games in the Premier League was in 2008-09 (11).
