They need one point to be safe from the threat of relegation, following West Ham&#8217;s loss to Newcastle on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"template__newsletter-inline-banner-form-combo-widget\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<p><img id=\"subscribe-img\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks for the submission!\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Chelsea could probably do with a win too to keep their hopes of European qualification alive, but the <em>Blues <\/em>may also simply want to get this season out of the way and move onto next season &#8211; with Xabi Alonso now confirmed as their next boss.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head and Key Numbers<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If they want to claim that valuable point, Tottenham will absolutely need to buck a lengthy trend at Stamford Bridge. They almost always lose at Chelsea&#8217;s home ground, and have only claimed a solitary point in their last four visits there. The last time they won there was in 2018.<\/li>\n<li>Chelsea will not have much time to prepare for this game, as they only played on Saturday in the FA Cup final, losing to Manchester City after a brave effort. With this in mind, it wouldn&#8217;t be a surprise to see interim boss Callum MacFarlane rest some key players here.<\/li>\n<li>Tottenham last played just under a week ago, drawing with Leeds at home. The result felt like a disappointment at first, but given Leeds&#8217; strong form, could now be considered a good point to claim &#8211; particularly after West Ham&#8217;s loss this weekend.<\/li>\n<li>Chelsea are actually in the worst form in the entire Premier League right now. They&#8217;ve claimed just one point from their last seven matches, losing six in a row before drawing with Liverpool on May 9th. Moreover, this sequence has seen them score just two goals all told while conceding 15 in return.<\/li>\n<li>While Tottenham are not out of danger just yet, they have improved drastically since the arrival of Roberto de Zerbi. They&#8217;re now unbeaten in four games &#8211; the first time they&#8217;ve managed this since September &#8211; and have taken the lead in all four of those matches.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction<\/h2>\n<p>History would suggest that Chelsea will defeat their London rivals as per usual here, making Tottenham sweat for their safety on the final day of the season.<\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s just nothing to suggest that the <em>Blues <\/em>are about to turn their slump around, while Tottenham have looked much improved under de Zerbi, particularly in terms of their pressing and counter-attacking.<\/p>\n<p>Given Chelsea will likely come onto Spurs, rather than attempt to shut them out as Leeds did, the stylistic match may well favour the away side here.<\/p>\n<p>Tottenham&#8217;s awful record at Stamford Bridge makes it impossible to predict a win for them here, but to see them claim the point they need to survive feels likely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction: <\/strong>Chelsea 1-1 Tottenham Hotspur<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Tips<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tip 1: <\/strong>Result &#8211;
