Preview, Prediction, Where To Watch

Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur is set for a Stamford Bridge showdown. This comes as the Blues play their final home game in the Premier League this season.

Both London clubs enter the derby with huge pressure. Chelsea are chasing for a late European push. Meanwhile, Spurs are fighting relegation. Given that, this clash could shape both clubs’ final league positions. Fans are expecting another heated battle between the rivals.

Preview: Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea enter the match after losing 1-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup final at Wembley. Interim boss Calum McFarlane’s side showed effort against the defending champions, but Antoine Semenyo’s backheel proved decisive.

The Blues also drew 1-1 against Liverpool in the league last weekend. That ended a tough six-match losing streak in the Premier League. However, they remain under pressure after slipping six points behind Bournemouth in sixth place.

They are now at risk of losing five straight league home games for the first time in club history if they fail to beat Spurs. Despite their poor form, Chelsea fans will still believe they can inspire the team in a key derby match.

Tottenham are finally showing their good football after winning two and drawing two of their last four league matches. Roberto De Zerbi’s side were frustrated after a 1-1 draw against Leeds United. That is especially after Newcastle United defeated West Ham United on Sunday. Spurs remain two points above the Hammers with a game in hand. That  said, a win this week could secure their survival in the top division.

Tottenham have also impressed away from home this season. Only Arsenal and Manchester City have won more away league matches than Spurs. The Lilywhites earned back-to-back away wins against Wolves and Aston Villa in recent weeks. That gives the squad confidence ahead of another tough game.

MATCH PREDICTION: CHELSEA VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

Chelsea know this match could decide whether their European hopes remain alive heading into the final game of the season. Their home ground has not been a happy place recently for the Blues. But, the pressure of the derby could push the players toward a stronger performance.

Tottenham have looked more organised under Roberto De Zerbi. Their away form has been impressive throughout the campaign as well. However, they have struggled badly against their city rivals in recent seasons.

Both teams should create plenty of chances as neither defense has looked completely solid in recent matches. The home side may still have enough quality in attack to make a close contest in front of their home fans.
