Chelsea travel across London this weekend to face Tottenham in what’s set to be a fiery Premier League clash between two sides who are keen to lay down a marker this weekend.
Spurs have started the season strongly but have looked shaky defensively in recent weeks, losing against sides they’d have expected to beat – Aston Villa and Newcastle. Spurs are third in the league.
This one looks evenly matched on paper, but there’s value in backing Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea, who have won four of their last five matches in all competitions. Chelsea are in ninth, but are only three behind Spurs after nine games.
Tottenham vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tip
BEST SPURS V CHELSEA BET BUILDER TIP – Chelsea to win @ 8/5
Chelsea have lost just one of their last six in all competitions, and despite losing last time out to Sunderland, have started reasonably well. Spurs have started well, but with defeats against Villa and Newcastle in recent weeks, Chelsea will fancy their chances. The Blues have won eight of the last 10 meetings between these two, with one draw and Spurs winning just once in that time. At 8/5, Chelsea to win looks a solid anchor for this builder.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Chelsea or Draw @ 4/9
If you’re not quite confident backing Chelsea outright, Chelsea or Draw (Double Chance) at 4/9 is a safer play. They have lost just one away match in the league.
Bet Builder Tip – João Pedro over 0.5 shots on target (4/7)
João Pedro has been one of Chelsea’s liveliest attackers this season. Despite having only three shots on target in the league, he has had 11 shots. Tottenham’s tendency to allow space between the lines will suit his game perfectly, as he likes to strike early when given time. I think he will have one or more shot on target here, and at 4/7, it looks a strong inclusion.
Spurs vs Chelsea Tip – Micky van de Ven over 0.5 shots (13/10)
Van de Ven has become a real threat from set pieces. The Dutch defender has averaged 0.6 shots per game this season, with three goals and three shots on target in that time. In nine games, he has had seven shots. Chelsea have conceded the fifth-most headed attempts in the league this season, so there’s a good chance Van de Ven registers at least one shot in this one, probably from a set piece.
Tottenham vs Chelsea Yellow Card Tip – João Palhinha to be carded (2/1)
Palhinha has already picked up four yellow cards in eight Premier League appearances this season, averaging over 2.5 fouls per game, the second-highest rate among midfielders in the division. At 2/1, this is a great price for a player who’s always in the thick of it, against a strong Chelsea midfield including fellow hard-hitter Moises Caicedo.
