26th February 2023 – 14:30, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London
Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will close the Premier League 25th round action with a Sunday afternoon clash. The hosts look forward to staying in the top-four zone, while the visitors want to break their poor run.
Tottenham Hotspur Preview & Team News
Tottenham Hotspur will be looking for a repeat result of a 2-0 Premier League victory over West Ham United. The Spurs got back on the winning track after losing to Leicester City 4-1 and took over the 4th place from Newcastle. A recurring aspect of recent Tottenham Hotspur games is the number of results with nil in them. Taking their prior six clashes leading up to this one, in as many as 5 of them, a bet on “Both Teams to Score” would’ve lost. Yves Bissouma (Ankle Fracture), Hugo Lloris (Knee Injury), Ryan Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury), and Rodrigo Bentancur (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) aren’t available for Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
Following on from a loss in their previous game against Southampton in Premier League action, Chelsea and their traveling supporters will be hoping they can get a better result in this one. It was the Blues’ fourth straight winless game, and they are far from the Champions League zone. Clashes involving Chelsea have turned out to be rather mundane affairs latterly, with the absence of attacking cohesion being the rule rather than the exception. During their past six clashes, an uninspiring gross goal total of 5 has been recorded between both them and their opposition at an average goal per match of 0.83. Chelsea boss Graham Potter has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Christian Pulisic (Knee Problems), Edouard Mendy (Shoulder Injury), Raheem Sterling (Knee Problems), and Armando Broja (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) miss out here.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although the Spurs haven’t been impressive lately, they are in better form than their city rival. Therefore, we think Tottenham Hotspur will record another vital victory on the home ground.
Goals Market Prediction
Chelsea’s offense has produced little over the past few weeks, and they have severe troubles in the final third. That’s why we expect a low-scoring encounter with two goals in total at most.
