Tottenham vs Chelsea preview
Chelsea visit Tottenham this weekend and will hope that a return to one of their favourite venues can get them back to winning ways.
The Blues suffered a shock defeat to promoted Sunderland at Stamford Bridge last weekend, ending a run of four straight victories in all competitions and seeing Enzo Maresca’s side drop to ninth.
But a short trip to north London could prove the perfect tonic.
Chelsea have won five of their six Premier League games against Spurs at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (L1), earning more victories at the ground than any other visiting side.
Furthermore, Spurs have won just one of their last 13 Premier League games against Chelsea (D2 L10) and have taken only four points from a possible 12 on home turf.
It’s perhaps understandable, then, that Chelsea arrive as favourites – especially given Tottenham’s lacklustre 2-0 defeat to Newcastle in midweek, despite only four changes to the starting XI.
That said, Tottenham remain third in the table, five points behind leaders Arsenal, and may have a trump card in manager Thomas Frank, who has lost just two of his eight Premier League games against Chelsea (W3 D3).

Tottenham vs Chelsea preview betting tips and predictions
Away win
We’re backing Chelsea to claim victory at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium once again — with both teams on the scoresheet at 7/2 with William Hill.
As mentioned, the Blues boast a sensational record at this ground, winning five of their six Premier League visits. They now face a Spurs side who’ve only managed one league win at home this season -against Burnley (W1, D1, L2).
Tottenham have beaten Chelsea just once in their last 13 Premier League meetings, but they should find the net here, given the visitors have conceded in six of their seven away games in all competitions this season.

Carded
I’m quite surprised to see Tottenham livewire Mohammed Kudus available at the enhanced price of 4/1 with William Hill to be shown a card on Saturday.
The Ghanaian, 25, has already picked up three yellow cards in 14 appearances for Spurs – including one in the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle on Wednesday night.
No Tottenham player has committed more fouls (15) in the Premier League this season, while only Cristian Romero has collected more bookings, with two to Kudus’ name in league action.
