CHELSEA VS. TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR: PREMIER LEAGUE | MATCH PREDICTION AND FANTASY FOOTBALL TIPS

In a keenly awaited London Derby, Chelsea welcome Tottenham Hotspur to Stamford Bridge in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

Chelsea are the second-best in-form team in the Premier League at the moment, having secured three back-to-back wins since their goalless draw with Manchester United. In addition, they are currently on a six-match winning streak in all competitions after their 2-1 win over Rennes midweek in the Champions League. They are currently third in the points table, sitting just two points below Tottenham.

Spurs sit second in the points table, just one point behind Liverpool, with a game in hand. A win here will take them to the top of the table and two points clear of Liverpool. Last weekend, Tottenham beat Manchester City 2-0 at home, with goals by S H-Min and G Lo Celso. In the Europa League in the midweek, Tottenham comfortably beat Ludogorets Razgrad 4-0 at home.

Last season, Chelsea did the double over Spurs, as the Blues won 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and 2-0 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Match Prediction

This is a very difficult game to predict, given the positive run of form of both the teams. Both teams’ defenses have been strong in recent weeks, so it is unlikely that there will be too many goals in this fixture. Given the balanced nature of the two teams, expect an entertaining 1-1 draw.
