The final match from this set of Premier League fixtures sees Tottenham hosting Chelsea in an all-London clash that both sides will want to win – for different reasons.

Spurs are firmly in the race for a top four finish after beating West Ham in their last game and in the process leap-frogged Newcastle into fourth.

Chelsea, on the other hand are having a troubled season with just 31 points and will need a miracle to turn their season around, despite spending big in the January transfer window.

As a result, it’s no shock to see Spurs as the match betting favourites at 31/20, with the Draw 9/4 and Chelsea at 19/10.

The sides met earlier this season and that ended in a 2-2 draw – you can back this score again at 14/1, while Chelsea fans might gain some hope knowing they won this repeat fixture 0-3 last term.

In fact, the Blues have won the last three repeat fixtures ‘to nil’ and are unbeaten in their last 12 vs Tottenham. You can back a Chelsea win ‘to nil’ at 4/1.

Chelsea have also scored in all 15 of their last 16 games vs Spurs, but it’s worth noting that both teams DIDN’T score in 8 of the last 11 head-to-heads and the same amount (8 from 11) also went Under 2.5 Goals.

You can back Under 2.5 Goals at 4/5, with both teams ‘not’ to score on the table at Evs.

With Chelsea having also only scored one goal in their last five games, this would also back up the Under 2.5 Goals option.

The scorers markets are dominated by Harry Kane as normal – the England man can be backed at 7/2 (1st) or 13/10 (anytime), while Son, who was back on target in Spurs’ 2-0 win over West Ham is on offer at 13/2 (1st) or 5/2 (anytime).

Chelsea’s shortest players in the scoring betting Joao Felix at 7/1 (1st) or 11/4 (anytime) and Fofana at 13/2 (1st) and 5/2 (anytime).

Overall, it’s a game with a lot riding on it – Chelsea will be looking to get back to winning ways with the pressure mounting on boss Graham Potter, while Spurs will be keen to keep up their charge for a ‘top four’ finish.

 

BEST BET: BOTH TEAMS NOT TO SCORE @ EVS
