- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CEST
- Venue: Stamford Bridge (London)
Two teams at opposite ends of the Premier League table will clash on Thursday evening as Champions League hopefuls Chelsea host struggling Tottenham.
The day after fifth-placed Man City stumbled to a 2-2 draw against Brighton, the London Blues failed to capitalize on the chance to further strenghten their final Champions League spot, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat in the city derby against Arsenal, leaving them just one point ahead of Guardiola's side.
For their part, Tottenham extended their torrid Premier League campaign as they endured a 2-0 beating against Fulham at Craven Cottage in their latest league fixture, their 15th defeat of the season to leave them mired deep in the bottom half, 10 points adrift of mid-table Bournemouth.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Betting Tips : UNDER 3.5
The first city derby of the season went to Chelsea in a seven-goal thriller (4-3), but a repeat of such an attacking display seems unlikely this time, and in fact, and it wouldn’t raise any eyebrows if the scoreboard stays quiet at Stamford Bridge this Wednesday. In recent weeks, the Blues have been involved in rather uneventful affairs, with a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Gunners coming after back-to-back solitary 1-0 wins over Leicester in the league and Copenhagen in the UECL. On a brighter note, Chelsea have tightened things up at the defensive end and can boast three shutouts on the bounce at their home turf in all competitions, so they'll rely on their newly found resilience at the back in their big midweek showdown. In addition to their dreadful Premier League season, Spurs have struggled to find sharpness in attack recently, failing to score in three of their last five matches across all competitions, and coupled with a dismal away run of four defeats in the last five games, we doubt they’ll trouble Chelsea’s well-organized defense. Considering both London sides are facing a dip in attacking efficiency, we anticipate a more controlled encounter at Stamford Bridge, with a greater emphasis on defensive strategies, and in the end, we don’t see more than three goals being scored in total.

Chelsea team news
Although Nicolas Jackson has returned to training following his hamstring setback, he is still not fit to feature against Tottenham, meaning Pedro Neto will take his spot up front.
The Blues are anxiously awaiting updates on Cole Palmer, whose illness kept him out of international action, as they prepare for a key showdown.

Tottenham team news
While Tottenham’s injury woes have eased slightly, they continue to miss Romanian center-back Radu Dragusin, whose ACL injury has ended his campaign prematurely.
The status of Kevin Danso, Dejan Kulusevski, and Brazilian forward Richarlison remains uncertain, but the return of Dominic Solanke is a welcome boost as he takes his place up front.
