Chelsea - WDWLLD
Levi Colwill (Toe injury), Malo Gusto (unknown injury), Ben Chilwell (Knee problems), Reece James (surgery), Enzo Fernández (Groin problems), Wesley Fofana (Cruciate ligament tear) and Roméo Lavia (Hamstring injury) aren’t available for Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino.
We think that The Blues look set to use a 4-2-3-1 system in the match, handing starts to Djordje Petrovic, Alfie Gilchrist, Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile, Marc Cucurella, Conor Gallagher, Moises Caicedo, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Mykhaylo Mudryk and Nicolas Jackson.
Chelsea will play in this game following a 2-2 Premier League draw vs Aston Villa.
In that match, Chelsea had 72% possession and 21 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. For Chelsea, the goals were scored by Marc Cucurella (4' Own goal), Noni Madueke (62') and Conor Gallagher (81'). Aston Villa had 9 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Morgan Rogers (42') was the scorer for Aston Villa.
Matches featuring Chelsea have tended to be entertaining affairs recently with plenty of scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past half dozen games alone, the sum total of 27 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 4.5 goals per game) with 14 of those accredited to Chelsea.
Coming into this clash, Chelsea are undefeated in their previous 4 league matches at home.
Tottenham Hotspur - LWDWLL
Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou has to choose a team with limited availability. Fraser Forster (Ankle injury), Timo Werner (Thigh problems), Ryan Sessegnon (Hamstring injury), Manor Solomon (Meniscus injury) and Destiny Udogie (Hamstring injury) will not be playing here.
From our viewpoint, Spurs will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 lineup, starting the game with Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Emerson Royal, Pape Sarr, Yves Bissouma, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-Min Son and Brennan Johnson.
After suffering a loss in their previous game against Arsenal in Premier League competition, Tottenham Hotspur and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.
In that game, Tottenham Hotspur had 62% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 2 on target. For Tottenham Hotspur, the goals were scored by Pierre-Emile Højbjerg (15' Own goal), Cristian Romero (64') and Heung-min Son (87'). At the other end, Arsenal got 9 shots on goal with 3 on target. Bukayo Saka (27') and Kai Havertz (38') scored for Arsenal.
The numbers tell their own story, and Tottenham Hotspur have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 10 goals in all. At the back, Tottenham Hotspur have some weaknesses to address. That being said, we must now wait to see if that trend will be maintained in this next game.
Their past results show that Tottenham Hotspur: have left without a victory over Chelsea when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 matches in the league. Not the best of away records, are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.
Chelsea possible starting lineup:
Petrovic; Gilchrist, Chalobah, Badiashile, Cucurella; Caicedo, Gallagher; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson
Tottenham Hotspur possible starting lineup:
Vicario; Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Emerson; Sarr, Bissouma; Kulusevski, Maddison, Son; Richarlison
Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

*Chelsea have lost only one of their last 33 matches at home against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, with their only such defeat during this period coming by a 3-1 scoreline in April 2018.
*Tottenham Hotspur have lost a total of 34 matches against Chelsea in the Premier League - they have a worse record in this regard only against Manchester United in the competition.

*Tottenham Hotspur have lost two of their last three away games in the Premier League - as many defeats as they had suffered in the 14 such games preceding this run.
Prediction: Chelsea 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
Two highly unpredictable and chaotic forces collide on Thursday evening, but goals are almost always to be expected at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea have often made up for their defensive indiscipline with a killer instinct at the other end of the field. Ruthlessness has been a bit harder for Pochettino's team to come by recently, but Tottenham's indifferent road form does not provide the travelling faithful with reason for optimism either, so we anticipate the Blues boss getting one over his former club once again as Chelsea do the Premier League double over Spurs for the 10th time.
