Chelsea lost a narrow 1-0 to Arsenal on March 16. The squad struggled to create scoring chances, as demonstrated by their low expected goals metric of 0.35. This encounter showed the side’s recent attacking challenges and the impact of injuries on their key players.
Cole Palmer, the team’s top scorer, was sidelined with a muscle injury. However, there is optimism surrounding his return, as he’s resumed training ahead of the Tottenham fixture.
Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke also returned to training after recovering from their injuries, improving Chelsea’s attacking options. Despite these positive developments, the club remains cautious about rushing players back to full match fitness.
Chelsea predicted lineup vs Tottenham (4-3-3): Sanchez; James, Fofana, Colwill, Cucurella; Caicedo, Fernandez, Sancho; Palmer, Madueke, Jackson.
| Key Players to Watch | Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson |
| Team Strengths | Possession-based style of play with aggressive pressing |
| Team Weaknesses | Vulnerability to counterattacks, unstable pressing |
| Key injuries and suspensions | Mykhailo Mudryk |
Following a demanding Europa League clash against AZ Alkmaar (3-1), Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou implemented squad rotations. He made seven changes to the starting eleven in the meeting against Fulham in the previous PL round.
This approach aimed to manage player fatigue but resulted in a lack of cohesion. The absence of regular starters disrupted Tottenham’s rhythm, particularly in the first half, where they struggled to establish offensive momentum.
Postecoglou introduced Son Heung-Min and Lucas Bergvall at halftime to improve their attack. This increased their pressure, and Dominic Solanke registered attempts that narrowly missed the target. However, Tottenham lost 0-2 and stayed in 14th place.
Cristian Romero, Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso, Richarlison, and Lucas Bergvall’s participation against Chelsea remains uncertain. They are listed as doubtful for the upcoming match.
Tottenham predicted lineup vs Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Vicario; Porro, Romero, Gray, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur; Maddison, Odobert, Solanke; Son.
| Key Players to Watch | Heung-min Son |
| Team Strengths | Attacking play |
| Team Weaknesses | Injuries and a lack of cohesion in the high defensive line |
| Key injuries and suspensions | Radu Dragusin |
In their last Premier League match on December 8, 2024, Chelsea secured a thrilling 4-3 victory over their rivals at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Chelsea demonstrated a consistent upper hand in their meetings with Tottenham. Out of 71 encounters since 1995, they secured 41 victories, while the latter managed only 10, with 20 games ending in draws. This translates to the hosts winning approximately 58% of these fixtures, indicating their historical advantage.
Additionally, the home squad won six of the last eight events at Stamford Bridge.
Despite recent injury setbacks, Cole Palmer remains a key player in Chelsea’s attack. His potential return could provide the creativity needed to unlock Tottenham’s defense.
Enzo Fernández contributed goals and assists to Chelsea’s recent successes. His ability to control the tempo and distribute effectively in different positions will be vitally important for his club.
Son Heung-min’s pace and finishing ability can challenge any defense. His performance will be key to Tottenham’s attacking play.
Dejan Kulusevski’s versatility allows him to contribute both defensively and offensively. His role in linking play and supporting the attack helped Tottenham to be unpredictable in previous matches.
Both teams employed a high-pressing strategy to regain possession quickly and disrupt the opposition’s build-up play. At the same time, both clubs can play out from the back, particularly through midfielders like James Maddison and Enzo Fernandez.
They will be crucial in bypassing each other’s press and launching counterattacks.
The effectiveness of Chelsea`s and Tottenham`s ball retention under pressure could determine their success in creating scoring opportunities.
Bet hereTottenham faced challenges in London derbies under manager Ange Postecoglou, failing to secure victories against traditional rivals like Arsenal, Chelsea, and West Ham.
The visitors’ main task is to fight for the Europa League title because, in the PL, they have no chances of qualifying for the Champions League next season. Against Chelsea, their motivation won’t be very high. However, they can play without pressure and show their best play, using their rivals` defensive vulnerabilities.
On the other hand, the hosts still fight for the top five spot, and winning this match will be extremely important. With the return of Palmer and Jackson, Chelsea`s attacking strength will be much higher, and they can easily exploit Tottenham’s weak high line.
Considering these factors, a bet on Chelsea to avoid defeat (1X) appears a good choice.
The first match between these teams in December highlighted their attacking strength and defensive weaknesses.
Since then, both sides’ play have not changed. They still come out in the same style with the same tactical tendencies. So, we can surely predict that both sides will score on Thursday, which could turn into another excellent football spectacle.
