Tottenham Hotspur fans will love Harry Redknapp’s prediction ahead of the Chelsea clash, as Spurs look to improve their home record.
Thomas Frank will be hoping to end Tottenham Hotspur’s bizarre record against Chelsea, with the Blues having secured victory over the Lilywhites in each of their last four meetings.
Spurs face a Chelsea side desperate to get back to winning ways following their 2-1 defeat to Sunderland, and Enzo Maresca’s men will be eager to take advantage of Tottenham’s inconsistent home form.
Frank’s side have managed just one win in four home league games this season, the fourth worst record in the division, and that will be an area he knows must improve quickly if Spurs are to stay among the top sides.
Harry Redknapp backs Tottenham in Chelsea prediction
Speaking to Bet Victor, former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp shared his thoughts ahead of the London derby, admitting it was a difficult one to call but ultimately siding with his former club.
He said: “What a game this is, and what a hard one to predict! Spurs had been a little bit out of form but that was a very impressive win away to Everton and that should give them a real lift.
“A win here would be massive for them and add to what’s been a good start for Thomas Frank.

“As for Chelsea, I just can’t make my mind up on them! A couple of weeks ago, they beat Liverpool and that felt like a big moment for them, and they go and lose to Sunderland at home last time out.
“Another defeat here and there could be a bit of pressure on the players and of course, the gaffer.
“I’m picking Spurs, they just seem to be in a better place to me.
“One to watch – I’m not expecting him to score two again, but what a top player van de Ven is and when he’s at his best, Spurs are a very good side.”
