- Chelsea are 4th in the Premier League 2026/2027 table with 13 points from seven games.
- Tottenham are 20th with just three points from six games.
Tottenham’s attack could be too blunt
Spurs are still chasing their first away win after three road games, but a trip to Stamford Bridge on Saturday should present a much more difficult challenge.
Chelsea's recent form has been strong, but they are on a two-game winning run themselves after a 5-1 home win over Bournemouth and 2-0 away win at Everton in the Premier League 2026/2027.
The Blues are the odds-on favourites here at 1.86, but Spurs are hardly lagging at 3.65 with the draw coming in at 3.9.
However, Chelsea look the likelier winners at Stamford Bridge as Tottenham are still seeking their first away win in the Premier League 2026/2027 after three road games (D2, L1).
This derby match-up is more of a chess game than a shootout, with Xabi Alonso and Roberto De Zerbi having very different approaches.
Alonso's Chelsea are playing structured, possession-based football with plenty of vertical runs and coordinated pressing when the trigger is pulled.
De Zerbi's Tottenham, on the other hand, are press-baiting possession-based with lots of wide progression and high-intensity pressing that triggers turnovers.
Backing Blues to beat Spurs again
Spurs are yet to show a clinical edge up front in the Premier League 2026/2027 with Conor Gallagher their sharpest attacking option. The ex-Chelsea midfielder has one goal in three games and has either scored or assisted in two of Spurs' last four goals in the league, so back him to trouble the Blues at Stamford Bridge.
Andrew Robertson has added a bit of creativity to Spurs' side in the Premier League 2026/2027 with one assist in five games. Chelsea, meanwhile, have Joao Pedro to thank for most of their attacking spark so far with three goals in four games. He is their top scorer in the league and can do some damage against Spurs on Saturday.
Chelsea's home games in the Premier League 2026/2027 have averaged 3.67 goals for and 2.00 against, while Tottenham's away games have been blunt with 0.33 for and 1.33 against. Spurs did manage to score against Manchester United in their last away game, but were beaten 3-2 at home by Aston Villa before that, so it should be an end-to-end clash.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.57 and Both Teams to Score at 1.53 are the main selections for this Premier League 2026/2027 clash at Stamford Bridge, although we will swerve the over for the main selection and take the visitors at 3.65 instead. The North Londoners have an edge in the recent head-to-head match-ups, but Chelsea's superior home form and form in general should see them claim the points in the capital derby.
