Chelsea v Tottenham Betting Tips

This heavyweight London derby is a great way to finish Saturday’s Premier League action. There is no love lost between these two as we saw back in May. Chelsea have been in tremendous form lately, rising to the top of the Premier League table with a six match winning streak going. No only that, they have kept a clean sheets in each of those six games as well and really have things together. Chelsea have taken more victories in the Premier League against Tottenham than they have done against any other club. Not only that, their home form against the Lilywhites is immense. They have gone 29 matches unbeaten now at home against Tottenham across all competitions, going W18 D11 in that sequence. Given the form that Chelsea have been producing lately, a Chelsea to win to nil is a price of 2/1 at William Hill.

As well as being tight at the back, they have a top striker in top form. Diego Costa can’t stop coring at the moment and he is running at even money at William hill in the anytime goalscorer market for this one. Eden Hazard is a 13/8 poke to net and he has four in his last five Premier League games against the Lilywhites, including that one in the meeting last May when he decided the 2015/16 Premier League title for Leicester. Just an indicator as to how tight Chelsea have been at the back, they have allowed their opponents just two shots on target across their last three Premier League matches. You can take a price of 21/20 on the fixture to go under 2.5 goals with bookmaker William Hill. Chelsea have impressively scored seventeen goals in their last six Premier League games now. A Chelsea 1-0 correct score is running at a price of 15/2 with a 1-1 draw in at the shortest price of 13/2.

The Lilywhites have struggled to find their winning touch lately and they have gone W1 D4 now in their last five games this season. They have managed to at least survive unbeaten from the start of the season, which they deserve a lot of credit form. But Spurs were terribly deflated in a loss against Monaco in midweek, which saw them get eliminated from the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and that will have been a blow to their confidence. In the Premier League last weekend, Tottenham netted two late, late goals from harry Kane to snatch a 3-2 win over West Ham at White Hart Lane. That win actually snapped a four match streak of Tottenham failing to score more than one goal in a game, so they haven’t been particularly prolific. Tottenham have gone W2 D4 away from home this season and they are on a three match drawing streak away from White Hart Lane.

Harry Kane has had a massive input for Spurs since he got back from injury. Two games back and the striker has three Premier League goals to his name. Harry Kane can be backed at a price of 21/10 in the William Hill anytime goalscorer market for this one and he could be value as he is on a four match scoring streak in the top flight. The meeting at the Bridge last May was a feisty affair, with Spurs taking nine yellow cards in the match. However, despite that loss, they have actually won more points in Premier League London derbies since the start of last season than any other side (20 points – W5 D5 L1). The Lilywhites have managed just the one clean sheet in their last five league games now and it will be put to the test by Chelsea’s fluid attack. Spurs start four points back of Chelsea, can they make up some ground?

Chelsea v Tottenham Predictions

Chelsea are going into the game as favourites and they are worth backing to collect the three points here. They have just looked clinical and hungry and they are putting so much pressure on opponents that they could crack Spurs. Tottenham’s defence has been pretty shaky of late and they looked really poor in their midweek loss against Monaco. Look for Chelsea to take the win, but it is worth going over the 2.5 goal line as well
