Stamford Bridge stages a London derby on Saturday as Chelsea welcome Tottenham in the eighth round of the Premier League, with the hosts aiming to strengthen their position in the top four.
Chelsea moved back into fourth place after a convincing 2-0 victory over Everton. That result also brought their first clean sheet in 23 league matches, and they will now attempt to record three consecutive Premier League wins.
Tottenham arrive with renewed confidence after beating promoted Coventry 3-1 earlier this week. The victory was their first of the season in the league, finally coming on their seventh attempt, and lifted Roberto De Zerbi’s side out of the relegation zone.
However, Tottenham face the prospect of a seventh successive defeat in a London derby if they lose at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea’s strong record against Spurs
Chelsea have won their past six Premier League meetings with Tottenham, matching their longest winning run against their north London rivals in the competition.
Tottenham’s record at Stamford Bridge is particularly poor. They have won only once in 36 league visits to Chelsea, drawing 11 times and losing 24.
The most recent meetings have all gone Chelsea’s way:
- 19 May 2026, Premier League: Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham - 1 November 2025, Premier League: Tottenham 0-1 Chelsea - 3 April 2025, Premier League: Chelsea 1-0 Tottenham - 8 December 2024, Premier League: Tottenham 3-4 Chelsea - 2 May 2024, Premier League: Chelsea 2-0 Tottenham
Chelsea are favourites at home despite having to reorganise their defence. Xabi Alonso’s team are considered to be in stronger form and greater confidence than a Tottenham side affected by injuries and a long-standing difficulty at Stamford Bridge.
Africafoot’s prediction is a 3-1 win for Chelsea.
The listed 1xbet odds are 1.67 for a Chelsea victory, 4.20 for a draw and 4.75 for a Tottenham win.
