- Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur
- Kick-off: 2026-10-24 16:30 UTC
- Ground: Stamford Bridge
- Status: Full time
- Score: Chelsea 0 – 2 Tottenham Hotspur

Chelsea are fourth with thirteen points from seven and scored seven in their last two league matches, at Everton and against Bournemouth. Tottenham are sixteenth with six points from one win, three draws and three defeats, and have scored six in their last five. Bentancur serves the second match of a three-match ban, and Simons, Odobert, Mudryk, Savio and Bergvall are injured, which thins both the midfield and the wide positions. Chelsea are without Emiliano Martínez in goal and without Reece James, which is why we stop short of a confident home win. Chelsea's last five league matches averaged more than three goals and Tottenham's just over two, so we lean, without much conviction, towards three goals or more.

## Our call

Chelsea look the stronger side with three goals or more in all.

## Coming in

Chelsea are fourth and scored seven in their last two league games. Tottenham are sixteenth, with one win in seven and six goals in their last five.

## Between them

Chelsea have won the last six league meetings.

## The hinge

If Porro and Kulusevski both start, three goals or more becomes likelier still.

## Missing

Tottenham are without Bentancur, suspended, and Simons, Odobert, Mudryk, Savio and Bergvall, injured. Chelsea miss Emiliano Martínez in goal and Reece James.
