Tottenham vs Chelsea in a London derby clash is the main event from the Premier League this weekend

*Odds are subject to change.

This is English Premier League (EPL) matchweek 10, where Tottenham will play Chelsea in an exciting London derby.

After a quarter of the league season, Spurs are 3 points ahead of Chelsea, as both sides seek to boost their top 4 hopes.

Kick off is at 5:30 pm on Saturday, 01 November 2025, from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Jarred Gillett will referee this clash.

Tottenham vs Chelsea Prediction

I predict a draw at 3.50. Tottenham’s home form is erratic. And Chelsea are eager to transfer their cup form into improved league results. So, I foresee a tactical battle where both teams are wary of opening up and losing to a local rival.

My alternative selection is over 2.5 goals at 1.70. We can expect goals, as these 2 teams are the EPL’s highest scoring teams alongside Man City. Recent H2H games featured a mix of high and low-scoring action. But Tottenham’s last 2 home games against Chelsea featured 12 goals.

Tottenham Analysis

Tottenham are 3rd in the top-flight standings after accruing 17 points from 9 fixtures (W5 D2 L2). With 17 goals for and 7 against.

Spurs have mixed results in their last 5 league and cup games (W2 D1 L2). A midweek 2-0 EFL Cup defeat at Newcastle followed last Sunday’s 3-0 drubbing of Everton. And gameweek 8’s 2-1 home loss to Aston Villa ended a 7-game unbeaten run.

The Lilywhites’ 2025-26 home EPL form is 1 win, a draw, and 2 defeats. Yet, away they’re unbeaten (W 4 D1)

Spurs’ lengthy injury list sees James Madison (knee) out until 2026, and Dejan Kulusevski (knee) until late 2025. Yet, several players could return within a few weeks: Cristian Romero (adductor), Destiny Udogie (knee), Yves Bissouma (ankle), Ben Davies (thigh), Radu Dragusin (knee), Dominic Solanke (ankle), and Kota Takai (foot).

Thomas Frank’s squad has no suspended players.

Player in Focus

Mohammed Kudus – The winger offers a big threat from behind Tottenham’s lone forward. He’s claimed 1 goal and 5 assists in 2025-26. So, Kudus to score or assist at 2.25 (Bet365) looks an interesting selection.

Chelsea Analysis

Chelsea are in 9th place in the EPL table on 14 points (W4 D2 L3) in 9 outings. In an up-and-down league season, they’ve hit 17 goals and conceded 11. 10 different Chelsea players have scored this season, marking their unpredictable threat. But they need to improve their poor disciplinary record of 6 red cards (3 in the EPL).

Last Saturday’s shock 2-1 home defeat to Sunderland continued an inconsistent run. After 2 wins and 3 defeats in 5 EPL games. Including September losses to Brighton (3-1) and Man United (2-1). But if we include league and cup matches, the Blues have won 5 in 6. Including a 4-3 EFL Cup victory at Wolves, plus Champions League home wins over Ajax (5-1) and Benfica (1-0).

Star man Cole Palmer’s persistent groin injury leaves Chelsea struggling for creativity. Levi Colwill’s ACL injury means he’s out until April 2026. Benoit Badiashile (muscle injury) and Dario Essugo (thigh) are unavailable until late 2025.

Liam Delap returned against Wolves in midweek. Despite his sending off for 2 yellow cards, he’s not suspended for league action.

Mykhailo Mudryk continues to serve a provisional suspension for his positive doping test.

Player in Focus

Alejandro Garnacho – The Argentine forward scored his first Chelsea goal against Sunderland. He can be a key player for Enzo Maresca, drifting in from the flanks. So, consider him to score or assist at odds of 2.62 (Bet365).

Tottenham vs Chelsea Possible Lineups

Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Guglielmo Vicario – Pedro Porro, Djed Spence, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso – Rodrigo Bentancur, Joao Palhinha – Xavi Simons, Brennan Johnson, Mohammed Kudus – Randal Kolo Muani

Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Robert Sanchez – Reece James, Josh Acheampong, Trevoh Chalobah, Marc Cucurella – Moises Caceido, Enzo Fernandez – Pedro Neto, Alejandro Garnacho, Joao Pedro – Marc Guiu
