Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Cole Palmer will make his return at Stamford Bridge against Tottenham.

Chelsea will welcome Tottenham at the Stamford Bridge this coming Friday in an always exciting London derby showdown. The two teams might be in totally different spectrums in the Premier League table but this match surely will be about the bragging rights and no team will be willing to even give an inch to their opposition.

One one hand you have Chelsea who are placed fourth on the table with 49 points and looking to close the deficit on Nottingham Forest and Arsenal who are positioned third and second respectively. Enzo Maresca’s men by now are well aware that the Premier League title is already out of their grasp and as such a finish in the top three would be their best option.

Tottenham Hotspur on the other hand are having a below average season. Far from their usual top five finishes the club would consider itself lucky to even finish in the top ten this time around. With 34 points in their 29 games the club are seemingly struggling.

Kick-Off:

• Location: Fulham, England
• Stadium: Stamford Bridge
• Date: Friday, April 4
• Kick-off Time: 00:30 AM IST
• Referee: Craig Pawson
• VAR: In use

Players to Watch

Cole Palmer (Chelsea)

Providing that much-needed respite to the Blues fans, Cole Palmer will be back in action at the Stamford Bridge against Tottenham this coming Friday. Palmer’s hamstring injury kept him on the sidelines against Arsenal in their last game, a match which they eventually lost (0-1) courtesy of a Mikel Merino goal.

Palmer has been in phenomenal form this season and scored 14 goals in the Premier League. Moreover he also has six assists to his name.

Brennan Johnson (Tottenham Hotspur)

Brennan Johnson can surely be one of the great future stars in football if his skills are honed properly. The 23-year-old striker has scored nine goals for Tottenham this season and also provided two assists. With Heung Min Son’s impending departure from the club looming over the Tottenham management in the coming months, Johnson might just be the player who will carry the club’s legacy forward.

Match Prediction

Chelsea will be the favourites heading into this game. They have a better history against Tottenham and are also a much better team at the moment.
