Chelsea heads into this derby as clear favorites, having dominated most head-to-head clashes in recent years.

Their strong form and consistent results give them a significant edge in this matchup.

In contrast, Tottenham is struggling defensively, missing key first-team players such as Vicario, Van de Ven, Davies, and Bentancur.

These absences have been evident in recent performances, with Spurs now winless in three games—drawing two and losing their last outing against Bournemouth.

Meanwhile, Chelsea is in fantastic form.

The team appears to have found its rhythm under the current coach, and their efforts are finally translating into impressive results.

Alongside Liverpool, they are arguably the most in-form team in the Premier League right now.
