Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur will lock horns in a highly anticipated Premier League derby at Stamford Bridge today May 02,2024.
Chelsea have lost just one of their last ten Premier League matches (W7, D2). Form on the road has become particularly concerning of late too, with Tottenham winning only one of their last seven away league matches (D3, L3).
A trip to the Bridge comes at a terrible time, as Spurs have won just once in 33 league visits since February 1990.
Chelsea will be without 14 players as Thiago Silva and Disasi add to their injury woes. Chelsea already had Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill, Reece James, Malo Gusto, and Ben Chilwell out.
Chelsea still stands a chance of qualifying for the Europa League this season, as they sit six points behind sixth placed Manchester United, with this week’s fixture marking their game in hand.
Spurs too on the other hand, have European ambitions, as they sit fifth, seven points behind Aston Villa with two games in hand.
The match is expected to be a close and competitive affair, with both teams possessing dangerous attacking threats.
