Alan Shearer has predicted the result for the upcoming showdown between Tottenham and Chelsea this weekend.
Spurs host London rivals Chelsea on Saturday evening, with three important points up for grabs in the Premier League fixture.
Recent history would suggest that the Blues should travel to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with real confidence. Remarkably, Chelsea have won nine of their previous 11 games against Spurs across all competitions.
Paul Merson tips Chelsea to beat Spurs to stretch their impressive record against them. If they do, the clubs will be level on points after 10 league games this season.
Alan Shearer predicts Tottenham vs Chelsea
According to Alan Shearer, Chelsea will only manage a point away to Spurs on Saturday.
Shearer has told The Metro: “This game is always a tough one to call, always a bit of spice, always really interesting, and always chucks up some incidents. We’ll have to wait and see, but with it being a London derby, I’m going to say a score draw in this one, and a point each.
“One thing Chelsea can’t afford is another red card. Losing a player in these games can make a huge difference, but it wouldn’t surprise me because there’s always a bit of needle in this game.
“Prediction – Draw.”
Chelsea must improve league form
As you can see below, Chelsea’s league form has been too inconsistent in the opening quarter of the 2025-26 campaign.
Maresca’s side sneaked into fourth spot on the final day of last season. On paper, this squad should be comfortably in top four without being sucked into a tough race for Champions League qualification.
Even though Chelsea’s target from the owners is another top-four finish this year, the talented young group should be striving for more.
Chelsea play Spurs (away), Wolverhampton Wanderers (home) and Burnley (away) in their next three top-flight matches. It feels like a perfect opportunity to build some momentum to help climb the division table. They certainly don’t want to go into the home fixture at home to Arsenal on 30 November still languishing in mid-table.
