Tottenham’s win record in yellow kit makes for interesting reading ahead of Chelsea clash
Tottenham Hotspur will head to Stamford Bridge tonight knowing their yellow kit has already brought them one memorable result this season, and supporters will be hoping it delivers again in a crucial clash against Chelsea.
Many Tottenham Hotspur fans will be bracing themselves for a cracking game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge tonight.
A lot is on the line for the Lilywhites, who know that a single point at the Bridge will be enough to secure their Premier League status for next season.
Chelsea, however, will be desperate to keep the relegation pressure on their rivals, Spurs, heading into the final day of the season.
A victory for the Blues would also leave them with a chance of securing a European spot despite losing the FA Cup final.
Tottenham’s all-yellow kit record offers slight encouragement ahead of Chelsea trip
It is certainly a difficult game to call, with both sides coming into the match in contrasting form. Judging by recent league performances, Spurs are the stronger side, with Roberto De Zerbi’s men unbeaten in their last four outings.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have not tasted Premier League victory since March and are winless in their last seven league matches – Spurs will be hoping to add to their misery.
It has now been confirmed that, with Tottenham away from home, Spurs will play in their all-yellow third strip. Many fans will remember that Spurs’ last Premier League victory came in that kit when they beat Aston Villa 2-1. However, the overall history of the changed strip is not quite so healthy.

Spurs face difficult Stamford Bridge test despite Chelsea struggles
Playing against Chelsea is never an easy task, let alone doing so at Stamford Bridge. Tottenham Hotspur are fully aware of their record in west London.
Thus far in Premier League history, Spurs have managed just one victory at Stamford Bridge, which came back in 2018 during Mauricio Pochettino’s time in charge.
Fortunately for Tottenham, the pressure this time is not entirely on securing a win. Instead, it is about finding a point, something Spurs have managed 11 times in Premier League meetings away to Chelsea.
| Record | Total |
|---|---|
| Chelsea wins | 21 |
| Tottenham wins | 1 |
| Draws | 11 |
| Chelsea goals | 62 |
| Tottenham goals | 23 |
