Tottenham’s inconsistent campaign hit another low with a 1-0 loss to Bournemouth, dropping them into 10th place.
Post-match tensions boiled over as manager Ange Postecoglou faced fan criticism, signaling growing unrest within the club.
With league leaders Chelsea and Liverpool on the horizon, alongside a visit to bottom-placed Southampton, Spurs enter a critical period that could define their season.
Despite their strong start at home, winning seven of their first eight games across all competitions, Tottenham’s recent struggles have stripped their stadium of its “fortress” status.
Failures to beat Ipswich (L 2-1), Roma (D 2-2), and Fulham (D 1-1) at home leave them vulnerable against a Chelsea side in red-hot form.
Chelsea on the other hand travel to North London full of confidence after a 5-1 demolition of Southampton midweek.
The Blues’ offensive firepower has been on full display, making them the Premier League’s highest-scoring side with 31 goals.
Enzo Maresca’s team has now gone six games unbeaten (W4, D2) sitting just behind Liverpool.
Historically, Chelsea have dominated this fixture, winning 11 of the last 15 meetings across all competitions, with many of those victories coming by 2+ goal margins.
Their impressive away form this season (W5, D1, L1) further solidifies their status as favorites. However, all five of those wins came against bottom-half teams, presenting a potential challenge if Spurs rediscover their form.
Key Battles ;
– Tottenham: Dejan Kulusevski
Kulusevski has been a creative force for Spurs, contributing five assists in his last eight games.
The Swedish international will look to add to his tally or even replicate his feat of scoring the opener in this fixture last season.
– Chelsea: Nicolas Jackson
Jackson has been a standout performer for Chelsea, particularly on the road, where four of his last eight league goals have come.
His pace and flair could pose a serious threat to Spurs’ struggling defense. He also scored a hat-trick against Spurs in this fixture last season.
Potential Lineups:
Tottenham: 4-3-3 – Forster; Porro, Dragusin, Romero, Udogie; Sarr, Bissouma, Maddison; Johnson, Solanke, Kulusevski.
Chelsea: 4-2-3-1 – Sanchez; Caicedo, Badiashile, Colwill, Cucurella; Enzo, Lavia; Neto, Palmer, Sancho; Jackson.
