This is the match preview for Chelsea vs Tottenham, taking place at 02:00 on April 4th – a match in Round 30 of the English Premier League.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Information
Chelsea
Before the recent FIFA Days break, Chelsea’s form was less than impressive: they lost 3 of their last 6 Premier League matches (winning the other 3). However, fortunately for The Blues, Manchester City and Newcastle also experienced a similar number of defeats, allowing Chelsea to maintain their fourth position in the league table. Currently, Chelsea are intensely focused on the race to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for next season.
Head coach Enzo Maresca’s team has little room left to drop more points. In their last 8 domestic league matches, Chelsea have recorded 4 wins at home and 4 losses away. With the home advantage in the upcoming game, Chelsea will likely be aiming for all three points.
Chelsea Form
Chelsea have won 4 of their last 5 matches across all competitions, and in their most recent outing, they were defeated by Arsenal with a score of 0-1. Overall, The Blues have been showing better form compared to the period before. They have also kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 matches, scoring 8 goals while conceding only 2 in that same run of games.
Tottenham
Tottenham are having a forgettable season and are 13 points adrift of the top 6 before this matchday. This means the North London team will likely have to settle for a mid-table finish this season, or potentially even worse. This is because they don’t have many opportunities to secure all 3 points in the upcoming match.
Indeed, Spurs have only earned 10 points from 9 derby matches (winning 3, drawing 1, losing 5). Head coach Ange Postecoglou will probably also focus significant effort on their UEFA Europa League campaign to help the team end their trophy drought.
Tottenham Form
Tottenham have only won 1 of their last 5 matches across all competitions, with 3 losses and 1 draw. The away team’s attack has been unimpressive, scoring only 5 goals in their last 5 matches, while their defense hasn’t fared much better, conceding 7 goals in the same period.
