Tottenham fans have been waiting to play in their new state-of-the-art stadium since the start of the season and while that wait is still ongoing, their team hasn’t been as convincing as in the recent past.
However, the Lillywhites have still found a way to get results. They have won 9 league games this season and they come into this game just 5 points off the top of the league table, so things are not as bad as they seem for them.
Tottenham have struggled more in Europe and next week they play a make or break penultimate group game against Inter Milan which they need to win in order to keep their hopes of reaching the next round alive.
With one eye on their midweek clash, Chelsea would feel that they can get one over their London rivals here.
Chelsea head into this game with no worries about their European position as they have already qualified for the next round of the Europa League.
The Blues remain unbeaten in every competition this season after their Community Shield loss to Manchester City.
They have played 18 competitive games since that defeat and 14 of those have ended in wins for them.
However, their 0-0 draw against Everton in their last game showed that Maurizio Sarri’s men are not quite at the level of Liverpool and Manchester City just yet.
The Blues come into this game with a better away form than at home with 7 wins from 8 games on the road, so they should be confident that they can get the win here.
This is one of the closest betting markets of the weekend as currently Chelsea are very slight favourites to come out on top while an influx of cash could see Tottenham start the game as favourites.
Punters believe this game will see goals as over 2.5 goals is currently trading odds-on.
This game gets underway at 17:30 BST and is being broadcast live on BT Sport 1.
