Chelsea vs Tottenham Preview
Chelsea currently sit in 5th place in the Premier League, five points behind Sunday’s rivals who occupy the last of the Champions League spots. A win on Sunday would see them move to within two points of Tottenham with seven games remaining.
This is a huge match in Chelsea’s season. Defeat on Sunday would see them eight points adrift of a Champions League spot and with Arsenal hot on their tails, manager Antonio Conte will want to do all he can to prevent that. Conte’s side have underperformed this season and have struggled to gain any consistency. They now have only picked up two wins in their last six league games and anything other than a win on Sunday would increase the pressure on them to secure their place in next seasons Champions League. Chelsea will take confidence from the fact Tottenham have only managed to beat them 6 times in 57 attempts and the absence of the leagues second highest scorer, Harry Kane, will be welcomed by all in blue.
Thibaut Courtois missed Belgium’s 4-1 win over Saudi Arabia earlier in the week but is expected to make a return in time for Sunday. David Luiz and Ross Barkley are also expected to miss out while Ethan Ampadu is Conte’s only long-term absentee.
Tottenham are feeling the pressure from Chelsea and the loss of Harry Kane through injury is a big blow for them. Son Heung-Min is expected to be Kane’s replacement and while the South Korean national is perfectly capable of producing the goods, there is a sense of vulnerability when Kane doesn’t feature in games.
Spurs have only lost once in the league since November and that was to the hands of league-leaders Man City. They’re unbeaten in their last 10 away games, winning five and drawing five. They’ve also won their last three away from home, scoring eight goals and conceding just one. The stats point to an away win but the fact remains that Tottenham have never beaten Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to change that on Sunday and picking up maximum points should leave a big enough gap to ensure a place for his side in next seasons Champions League.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Predictions
The bookies have Chelsea as favourites for this clash given the absence of Harry Kane Tottenham’s poor record against Chelsea. Victory for either side would mean a lot in their battle for a Champions League spot and we feel it will be an even contest. There’s enough quality in both sides for them to be able to find the net and so both teams to score is our tip. With not much seperating the two sides, we’re tipping a score draw.
