Tottenham Hotspur are playing host to what’s poised to be a frenetic London derby on Saturday evening, as Chelsea make the short trip to N17.
The Blues have enjoyed themselves at Spurs’ impressive new home, scoring four on each of their previous two visits. They’ve dominated the head-to-head duel with their capital rivals since the Premier League’s inauguration, so a win for the hosts has the potential to ignite the Thomas Frank era.
The Dane has guided his side to third in the Premier League table off the back of their set-piece proficiency, but they’ve flattered to deceive in Europe and were knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Newcastle United on Wednesday night. Chelsea, meanwhile, held off a Wolverhampton Wanderers fightback at Molineux to advance into the quarterfinals.
Enzo Maresca’s Blues have been plagued by ill discipline at the start of 2025–26, but they couldn’t blame a red card for their home defeat to Sunderland last week that leaves them ninth in the table heading into Saturday’s game.
