Our predictions for Tottenham vs Chelsea
Match Prediction: Tottenham 2-1 Chelsea
Tottenham's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, but they've shown they can nick a win, especially on the road. With two wins and two draws in their last five, they'll fancy their chances against a Chelsea side that's been a bit shaky in recent times. Spurs have the firepower up top with Muani leading the line, and if they can keep their defence solid, they might just edge this one.
Chelsea, on the other hand, have had a mixed bag lately. Two wins and three losses in their last five, with some surprise defeats at home, suggest they're vulnerable. But don't count them out; they've got quality players like Guiu who can turn a game on its head. It could be a tight affair, but Tottenham might just have the edge.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Tottenham
Tottenham's recent form has been up and down, but they've shown they can grind out results. Wins against Everton and Leeds away from home show they can perform under pressure. The draw against Wolves and the loss to Aston Villa at home suggest they need to tighten up at the back, but with players like Palhinha and Bentancur in midfield, they've got the tools to control the game.

Chelsea
Chelsea's form has been inconsistent, with two wins and three losses in their last five games. The defeats at home to Brighton and Sunderland are a concern, but they've also shown they can beat top teams like Liverpool.
