The Blues are coming off a 1-0 away loss to Arsenal in the Premier League. Mikel Merino scored the winning goal for the Gunners in that game. That was the fifth loss for Chelsea in their last six away games, as they have had some terrible performances in away matches lately, while they are playing well at home.
Chelsea are still missing Mykhailo Mudryk due to suspension, while Marc Guiu and Noni Madueke are doubtful, and Omari Kellyman is out with an injury.
Tottenham are in 14th place in the Premier League standings with 34 points. The Spurs lost to Aston Villa in the FA Cup round of 32. Tottenham came back to beat AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League after losing the first game, and they will face Eintracht Frankfurt in the quarterfinals.

Chelsea are on a great run at home, having won 15 of their last 20 games at Stamford Bridge while losing only once. They are also on a five-game home winning streak. Tottenham have been poor lately, losing four of their last five away matches, and they haven’t really performed well against Chelsea lately either.
The English Premier League bookies have Chelsea as big favorites for a reason. Every game for them is a must-win to keep their fourth place, while Tottenham are guaranteed to finish mid-table.

The London Derby usually has a lot of action in terms of goals and cards. Four of the last five head-to-head games between them went over the total number of cards, averaging 5.6 cards per game. Both teams have received a lot of bookings lately, so we expect the same to happen in this intense game.

Pedro Neto has had some fine performances since signing with Chelsea in August. The Portuguese winger has three goals and four assists in the EPL, as well as four-goal contributions in five games for the Blues in the Conference League. Neto is having more freedom on the front line lately, and he has scored a goal and had two assists in the last four EPL games. The Spurs have only one clean sheet in their last nine games, and they are expected to concede a couple or more goals.
The Blues are playing at home and are in much better form than the Spurs, so we expect them to win. Make sure you use our 2025 Chelsea vs Tottenham betting predictions and bet them at the legal bookmakers in the UK to have more fun watching the game.
