Description

Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge in a huge London derby in the Premier League on Thursday April 3, live on Sky Sports.

Chelsea are seeking to get back to winning ways after their 1-0 loss to Arsenal last time out as they bid to qualify for next season's Champions League. They currently sit sixth in the Premier League table.

Tottenham are on a three-game winless run in the Premier League and sit in 14th in the table, losing 2-0 to Fulham before the international break.

Games between Chelsea and Spurs often produce plenty of goals and drama, and the previous meeting this season was no different with the Blues winning 4-3 at Tottenham on December 8.

Chelsea vs Tottenham team news

Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca says Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke "are all good" ahead of Thursday's home game against London rivals Tottenham.

Palmer withdrew from the England squad through injury after missing Chelsea's defeat at Arsenal before the international break, but Maresca has confirmed he is now "back".

Jackson and Madueke have been out for two months but the pair could now return against Spurs.

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou says Richarlison will not be fit to return against Chelsea. The Brazilian has not featured since a muscle injury sustained in the 4-0 Carabao Cup semi-final second leg loss at Liverpool on February 6.

Postecoglou also confirmed injured duo Dejan Kulusevski (foot) and Kevin Danso (hamstring) are "a week or two" away from returning.

Asked for an injury update at his pre-match press conference, Postecoglou said: "Nothing new outside of those [Richarlison, Kulusevski and Danso]. Everyone else is fine and training. Radu's [Dragusin] long-term."

Chelsea vs Tottenham odds and score prediction

Djed Spence is taking his opportunity for Tottenham, winning lots of plaudits for his displays since the turn of the year. His performances are catching the eye, especially from a punting perspective where the prices surrounding his ability to win fouls are very much in our favour.

He remains a slice of value with Sky Bet to be fouled two or more times - a bet which has landed for punters in 11 of his last 13 starts. Ange Postecoglou likes his full-backs to drive into central areas of the pitch and that tends to lead to fouls being drawn. He can go in again in what is always a high-octane London derby.

Looking forward to this.

Brighton team to play Palace: Verbruggen, Dunk, Minteh, Van Hecke, Estupinan, Baleba, Gomez, Hinshelwood, O'Riley, Mitoma, Welbeck.

Brighton kings of the road

Sky Sports' Laura Hunter:

"Funny how Brighton have almost become away day specialists since the turn of the year. They've won five of seven away games in 2025, only one fewer than the entirety of 2024 and we're only in April.

"Perhaps it's do to with Fabian Hurzeler's approach.

"Possession-based football that emphasises quick transitions, pressing, and squeezing the pitch maybe works better on the road, without the pressure of a home crowd because distances have to be so precise. Miss one trigger or move half a yard the wrong way and it can unravel quickly.

"Interested to see the plan of action today."

O'Riley return huge for Brighton

Sky Sports' William Bitibiri at Selhurst Park:

"Summer signing Matt O'Riley is still yet to get going in a Brighton shirt.

"There was great promise after he scored on his league debut but troubled by injury, he starts for the first time since January.

"Brighton have struggled to control games since returning from the international break, O'Riley's presence in midfield, alongside Carlos Baleba, will provide an assured presence."

Brighton's London hoodoo

Brighton are winless in their last 11 Premier League games in London (D5 L6) since a 3-0 win over Arsenal back in May 2023. It’s their worst winless league run in the capital since 1933-36.

How do we stand?

Here's how we look before a ball is kicked, shining a spotlight on the middle sector of a congested Premier League table. Both will be relatively content with their position but there's room to squeeze a bit more mileage out of this season, surely?

Live PL table in full

Palace good value for home win

Sky Sports' Lewis Jones:

It would be a mistake to read too much into Crystal Palace's lacklustre showing at Southampton.

I'd rather assess them over a bigger sample size and put that outlier performance down to a bit of fatigue following their FA Cup win at Fulham.

Since the middle of November, Palace's defensive process based on expected goals against is the fourth best in the Premier League at 1.15 per 90.

Oliver Glasner's side won the reverse fixture comfortably 3-1 at the Amex and they can repeat the feat with 11/8 on offer for the home win.

SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1

LAST TIME OUT: PALACE 1-1 SOUTHAMPTON

LAST TIME OUT: BRIGHTON 0-3 ASTON VILLA

Welbeck returns

Slightly more changes in the Brighton camp. Fabian Hurzeler, clearly unhappy with what he saw midweek, has made four swaps. Danny Welbeck is back to lead the line, displacing Joao Pedro, and will be supported by Matt O'Riley. Carlos Baleba and Yankuba Minteh are the other two to come in.

Palace change one

Just the one change from Oliver Glasner after a disappointing draw to Southampton in the week. Daichi Kamada replaces Nathaniel Clyne, who is available from the bench. That same tricky front three - Sarr, Eze and Mateta - are in partnership again at the top end.

Destined for 1-1?

Each of the last five Premier League meetings between Crystal Palace and Brighton at Selhurst Park has finished 1-1. No specific fixture in English top-flight history has finished by the exact same scoreline in six consecutive meetings before.

Afternoon!

Hello and welcome to the M23 derby. Usually a feisty affair around these parts.

Crystal Palace and Brighton go head-to-head having both suffered setbacks midweek as the hosts were held to a draw by relegation-bound Southampton and the Seagulls were thumped by Aston Villa. No matter. Today's a fresh start. And with spring in the air, there's plenty to look forward to!!

A rivalry that dates back decades, both sets of fans would love nothing more than a win in this grand old fixture to kickstart a positive run-in. Let's get stuck in.

Glasner urged his mother not to lose sleep over RB Leipzig links

Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner revealed he urged his mother not to lose sleep over speculation linking him to the vacant manager’s role at Bundesliga side RB Leipzig.

The Austrian boss has enjoyed success with the Eagles since his appointment last February, and his current contract does not expire until 2026, but he is a rumoured target to replace the recently-sacked Marco Rose.

“I’m very happy, but I’m not happy with all the stories,” said Glasner, addressing what he felt was conjecture.

“I don’t read all these stories, but my mum messaged me and she said, ‘I don’t know. I have to read so much. I don’t know where to start and where to end, I can’t sleep anymore’.

“I said, ‘Come on, you are in your 70s, and it’s not worth reading all this stuff’. So nothing to tell from my side. The only guy I was talking to in the last week was (Palace chairman) Steve Parish and no-one else.

“Again, I don’t really recognise it because I don’t read all the things.”

Glasner will have a mostly healthy squad at his disposal, though it comes slightly too soon for defender Chris Richards, who also missed their Southampton draw with a calf issue.

Dunk fit to feature for Brighton

Brighton captain Lewis Dunk is fit to feature after being substituted in the 72nd minute against Aston Villa on his first start in almost two months.

Joel Veltman, Adam Webster, Tariq Lamptey, Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner and Georginio Rutter remain sidelined.
