Chelsea v Tottenham betting preview and form guide
With just one win from their last five Premier League fixtures, Chelsea’s position in the standings isn’t safe anymore. They still sit 4th in the league table, but they are just one point adrift of their Saturday’s opponents, Tottenham Hotspur, two points clear of Sheffield Utd and three points above Manchester United. Frank Lampard’s men enter the fray on the back of a four-game winless streak in the league, including a humiliating 0-2 home loss against Manchester United last night. The Blues are now only the 12th best home team in the league, having collected just 18 points in 13 games. Frank Lampard failed to bring in any improvements for the defensive zone in January and the problems persisted since then as they have conceded at least twice in three of their last four competitive games.
Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho and his team are in good mood at the moment as they managed to keep the momentum going and picked up a narrow 2-3 victory on the road at Aston Villa at the weekend. Actually, that was their first away victory in 2020. Spurs now sit 5th in the Premier League table, just one point behind their Saturday’s opponents. Mourinho’s boys are enjoying a solid run of form at the moment as they enter the fray on the back of a four-game unbeaten streak in the Premier League. The most impressive thing about this Tottenham team is they have managed to score plenty of goals of late, despite the fact that Kane is still out through injury. Son Heung-Min has been playing phenomenally over the past few weeks, scoring four goals in his last three league appearances, but the Korean player broke his arm in the previous round and will probably miss the next couple of games.
This game looks like a decisive battle for a Champions League place and it will be interesting to see if Frank Lampard can find a solution and put an end to his team’s inconsistency. On the other hand, Spurs are hungry to collect more points and also get revenge here as they lost three times in a row against Chelsea last year.
