Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea

Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to maintain the pressure on the frontrunners when they host Chelsea in an English Premier League fixture on Saturday.

The hosts have been a bit inconsistent lately, while the visitors are looking to bounce back from a disappointing home defeat last time out. Both teams often struggle to keep things tight at the back and could be set to serve up goals here.

Tottenham Hotspur News

Tottenham Hotspur have reasons to be pleased with their campaign so far as they sit third in the table, five points off the pace. They claimed a 3-0 victory at Everton in their previous Premier League fixture, with Micky van de Ven netting a brace.

However, Tottenham Hotspur have been slightly inconsistent lately, following the win at Everton with a 2-0 EFL Cup defeat at Newcastle United. Thomas Frank’s men have also been lackluster in front of their fans, with three wins from their last six home matches across all competitions.

One of the issues for Tottenham Hotspur is a vulnerable backline that has failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last seven matches. However, they have scored first in three of their last four home matches, while two of the last three fixtures on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea News

Chelsea have dropped to ninth in the table after suffering a 2-1 home defeat to Sunderland last time out in the Premier League. They failed to build on Alejandro Garnacho’s early opener and went on to concede a late winner.

Manager Enzo Maresca will consider that result a minor blip as Chelsea have won five of their last six matches across all competitions. They have also won their last three away matches, including a 4-3 EFL Cup victory at Wolves on Wednesday.

The result at Wolves highlights a familiar pattern for Chelsea, who have scored and conceded in four of their last five matches across all competitions. All five fixtures on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Chelsea have nine wins and two draws, while Tottenham Hotspur have been victorious just once in the last 12 matches. The Blues did the double last season, claiming a 4-3 victory in the away clash.

Verdict

Tottenham v Chelsea

It is often an open contest between these two sides as both teams have scored in their last two meetings at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With both fixtures also producing over 2.5 goals, Saturday's clash could be backed to serve up a similar pattern.

Tottenham have opened the scoring in three of their last four home matches and could be backed to grab the first goal here.
