Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur in England Premier League Battle

Chelsea: Unbeaten at Home in 2025

Well, Chelsea started the week in 4th place, securing a spot in the Champions League, but with the race for European qualification intensifying, every point counts. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Nottingham have built a small gap, leaving Chelsea to battle with at least four other teams — Manchester City, Newcastle, Brighton, and Aston Villa — for one of the coveted top 4-5 spots, both of which lead to the Champions League.

Enzo Maresca’s side played their last official game on March 16 against North London rivals Arsenal, suffering a narrow 0-1 loss in a lackluster performance. However, Chelsea boasts an impressive home record at Stamford Bridge, winning their last four matches there — with two clean sheets. Notably, they remain unbeaten at home in 2025 across all competitions.

Despite their strong home form, Chelsea remains the most card-happy team in the Premier League, having collected 79 yellow cards and 1 red card this season. Last season, they finished with 105 yellow cards and 4 reds.

Chelsea will be without Mykhaylo Mudryk, Marc Guiu, and Omari Kellyman, while Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson, and Noni Madueke are expected to be available for selection.

Tottenham: Struggling in London Derbies

Tottenham may not be under as much pressure, but they are motivated by pride and the desire to avenge their earlier 3-4 loss to Chelsea earlier this season — a match in which Spurs led 2-0 within 15 minutes but ultimately fell short.

Under manager Ange Postecoglou, Spurs currently sit 14th in the league with 34 points, trailing the top 10 by 10 points. They’ve struggled in their last three league matches, earning just a single point from a 2-2 draw at home against Bournemouth, having come from 0-2 down.

Tottenham’s struggles have been even more evident in London derbies, where they’ve earned only 10 points in 9 matches and suffered 5 losses. They’ve also been poor away from home, losing 8 out of 14 games. As of now, only Leicester (10) and Southampton (12) — both in relegation danger — have suffered more away defeats.

Radu Drăgușin remains unavailable, while Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso, and Richarlison are nearing returns.
