Chelsea come into this at Stamford Bridge with home advantage, but their recent league form has been patchy, so this is not a straightforward call. Tottenham Hotspur have taken seven points from their last four league matches, which suggests they can make this competitive if they stay organised and take their chances. With no xG data available, the clearest guide is the recent results and the head-to-head trend, which has leaned Chelsea’s way in the last five meetings.

That scoreline fits a game where Chelsea have enough quality in the final third to edge it, but Tottenham Hotspur still carry enough threat to score. Chelsea’s recent meetings with Tottenham Hotspur have often been tight, yet the home side have repeatedly found a way to get the result. A narrow Chelsea win looks the most data-backed outcome from the information provided.

Form Guide & Team Overview

Chelsea

Chelsea’s recent league form has been inconsistent, with just one draw and four defeats in their last five Premier League matches. The 1-1 draw away to Liverpool is a better result than the others, but it sits alongside home losses to Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, plus away defeats to Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City.

Across all competitions, the picture is similar, although the FA Cup win over Leeds United does show they can still put together a result. Even so, the overall run remains one of limited momentum, and the recent data points to a side that has struggled to turn performances into points.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur’s recent league form is more stable than Chelsea’s, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five. The wins away to Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers stand out, while the draws against Leeds United and Brighton & Hove Albion show they have been able to stay in games.

Their only defeat in that run was the 1-0 loss away to Sunderland, which suggests they have generally been competitive. Based on the supplied results, Tottenham Hotspur arrive with a stronger recent points return than Chelsea, even if their form is not flawless.

Lineups & Tactical Setup

Chelsea (4-2-3-1)

Predicted lineup: Filip Jørgensen (Goalkeeper), Jorrel Hato (Defender), Levi Colwill (Defender), Malo Gusto (Defender), Wesley Fofana (Defender), Andrey Santos (Midfielder), Cole Palmer (Midfielder), Enzo Fernández (Midfielder), Marc Cucurella (Midfielder), Moisés Caicedo (Midfielder), João Pedro (Attacker)

Chelsea’s predicted 4-2-3-1 gives them a solid base with two midfielders screening the defence and helping them control transitions. It also leaves room for João Pedro to lead the line with support from the attacking midfielders, which should help Chelsea build attacks through the middle and wide areas.

Tottenham Hotspur (4-2-3-1)

Predicted lineup: Antonín Kinský (Goalkeeper), Destiny Udogie (Defender), Kevin Danso (Defender), Micky van de Ven (Defender), Pedro Porro (Defender), Conor Gallagher (Midfielder), João Palhinha (Midfielder), Mathys Tel (Midfielder), Randal Kolo Muani (Midfielder), Rodrigo Bentancur (Midfielder), Richarlison (Attacker)

Tottenham Hotspur’s predicted 4-2-3-1 should give them a compact shape in midfield while still allowing them to break forward quickly. With Richarlison up top and support from the players behind him, they can look to turn defensive stability into direct attacking moments.
