Preview
Match preview
Chelsea enter this London derby placed fourth in the Premier League table with 13 points from their opening seven fixtures. The Blues have shown formidable attacking output at Stamford Bridge, scoring 11 goals across three home matches, including a 5-1 win over Bournemouth and a 6-3 victory against Leeds. In João Pedro, who has five goals and three assists, and Morgan Rogers with four goals, they possess in-form options leading the line.
Tottenham sit 16th with six points and have found life difficult on the road this season. They have yet to win an away league fixture, registering two draws, one defeat, and just one goal scored in three outings. A 3-1 home win over Coventry in their last match offered relief, but a mounting absentee list including Rodrigo Bentancur through suspension puts strain on squad depth across all areas.
Recent head-to-head records in league action also favor the hosts, with Chelsea having won each of the previous five Premier League encounters between the two clubs. Given Tottenham's travel difficulties and Chelsea's reliable scoring rhythm at home, the hosts hold an evident advantage heading into kickoff.

Double Chance
Chelsea or Draw
77%
Confidence
Chelsea have won two and drawn one of their three home league games, averaging 3.7 goals scored per match in front of their home supporters. Tottenham have struggled to find the net away from home, scoring just once in three trips, and are depleted by the suspension of Rodrigo Bentancur alongside defensive injuries to Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie. While Tottenham secured a 1-1 draw at Manchester United, Chelsea have won the last five Premier League meetings between the sides, making the home double chance a well-supported selection.
