Tottenham Challenges Chelsea to Prove Their Potential

Suddenly, and without prior warning, but after a long period of hard work over several seasons, Chelsea has returned to the top of the Premier League, where their recent positive results have placed them in second place, just 7 points behind Liverpool, the leaders.

Chelsea’s recent performances under manager Enzo Maresca have been well-received by the “Blues” fans, with the Italian coach expressing his joy at the cheers of the crowd after their latest 5-1 win against Southampton, saying: “We’ve got our Chelsea back. It felt great, especially when you see them (the fans) happy. That’s our goal.”

However, Maresca and his men are careful not to feel they’ve reached perfection before being tested further, with the first challenge coming when they face local rivals Tottenham Hotspur in a special London derby this weekend.

This match will undoubtedly not be easy for Tottenham’s Australian coach, Ange Postecoglou, who stated that his team “is developing in all areas” despite fluctuating results this season and falling out of the top four.

Postecoglou said, “We are developing in all aspects of our play. We have scored a lot of goals, and even defensively, we have become more stable than we were last year.”

Despite his optimistic message, Postecoglou admitted that there is room for improvement: “Clearly, we’ve had two matches where we didn’t reflect our style of football, especially against Crystal Palace (lost 0-1 in week 9) and Ipswich Town, where we dropped significantly below the level we wanted.”

Here are some numbers and indicators that will help you predict the correct result and win with “Betway”:

● Tottenham has won only once in their last 11 league matches against Chelsea (drawing 2, losing 8), with their only win being 2-0 at home in February 2023.

● After a series of only two wins in 13 league matches away to Tottenham between 2006 and 2018 (with 5 draws and 6 losses), Chelsea has won four of their last five visits to Tottenham (losing one).

● Chelsea has won 35 matches and scored 116 goals in the league against Tottenham, more than any other team. This is also the most goals Tottenham has conceded against any opponent, while they’ve lost more matches only to Manchester United (39 matches).

● Tottenham has not lost in their first four “London Derby” matches in the league under Ange Postecoglou (winning 2 and drawing 2), but they have lost 7 of their last 13 matches (winning 4 and drawing 2). However, five of their six wins in “London Derbies” under Postecoglou have been at home.

● Chelsea has won five of the seven matches they’ve played at Tottenham’s stadium in all competitions (drawing 1 and losing 1), the most wins by any visiting team at this stadium since Tottenham moved there in 2019.

● Tottenham has kept a clean sheet only once in their last 22 home league matches (a 4-0 win over Everton this season), and no team has kept fewer clean sheets at home in the top four divisions in England than Tottenham.

● Nicolas Jackson has scored four goals in two league matches against Tottenham with Chelsea, including a hat-trick in the same fixture last season.

● Brennan Johnson, Tottenham’s player, has scored three goals in his last five home league matches, more than he scored in 24 previous matches at home in the competition for both Tottenham and Nottingham Forest (2 goals).

Chelsea’s rise in the Premier League has fans excited, especially with their upcoming match against Tottenham Hotspur.
