CHELSEA
Chelsea title challenge has gone up in smoke in recent weeks after a terrible run of form that has seen them pick up just a single win in their last seven league games. The 1-0 loss to Chelsea last weekend was probably the one that knocked the wind off their sails and they did not do themselves any favours when they drew 1-1 with Brighton at the Amex in the subsequent match on Tuesday night.
That draw means they are now third on the log, a massive 12 point behind runaway leaders Manchester City. They are also 8 points clear of the visitors, but with Spurs having four games in hand, they cannot rest on their laurels here in the top 4 race.
The Blues faced off with Tottenham twice this month in the two-legged semifinals of the EFL Cup, winning both 2-0 at home and 1-0 away to book a ticket to the final. Tuchel will be hoping to carry over some momentum and psychological edge from these matches into this game.
TOTTENHAM
Tottenham pulled off the most dramatic comeback this season away at Leicester City on Wednesday night. They were dead in the water, trailing 2-1 deep into injury time. However, two goals in two injury-time minutes from striker Steven Bergwijn saw them steal all points on offer as they walked away with a dramatic 3-2 win.
That win means they have now won three of their last four Premier League matches, and it also maintained coach Antonio Conte’s unbeaten start with the Spurs on his return to Premier League (6W, 3D).
With 4 matches in hand, and very much within striking distance of the top four, Spurs are in a great position to make a serious run for the coveted Champions League places but they will have to make them count, starting with this match if they are to be taken seriously.

CHELSEA VS TOTTENHAM PREDICTIONS
This is likely to be a tough match. There is everything to play for here for both of these familiar foes. Chelsea are looking to get back in the title race or at the very least hold their ground in the top four. Spurs on the other hand are trying to force their way into the table of men by all means possible. We expect a very tight opening half of the game with neither team willing to cede too much ground to the other. As such we are backing this game to be level at the break @ 2.23 with Paripesa Bonus as our opening betting tip today.
Chelsea dominated both of the League Cup matches, winning with an identical 64% – 36% possession. However, they have struggled to replicate that form in the Premier League in recent weeks. Conversely, Tottenham are a much-improved side under Conte in the Premier League and they will certainly be fired up coming into this match not only from their dramatic win at Leicester but also because they want their pound of flesh here. We fancy them to make it much more even possession-wise. 1xBet Bonus have them edging the possession battle with a +21 handicap priced at 1.89 and we feel there is value in backing this as our final tip.
