The Premier League title already seems beyond Chelsea, but they can ill-afford another poor performance as Spurs crank up their top-four bid on Antonio Conte’s return to Stamford Bridge.
Here are all the betting options available with LV BET as Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur go into battle again on Sunday.
CHELSEA VS TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR BETTING TIPS
Chelsea
With the title already pretty much out of their reach, Chelsea need to offer their fans a pick-me-up in the form of three points in a London derby.
Although they didn’t play badly at Manchester City last Saturday, they did at Brighton. The stark reality is they are 12 points behind – and out of the championship race by the middle of January.
In any normal situation, pressure on a manager after delivering the Champions League last year would be considered a wild knee-jerk reaction. But this is Chelsea, and silverware the year before counts for precious little.
Few need reminding that Frank Lampard was a point closer to the leaders this time a year ago when the gun was fired.
Thomas Tuchel knows he must start delivering in the Premier League with the Blues seriously lacking. Their home form, in particular has left fans frustrated, even if they did send Spurs packing in the EFL Cup at the Bridge a few weeks ago.
Three points against rivals Tottenham Hotspur will alleviate some of the weight currently on the German’s shoulders.
A 2-0 Chelsea win is on offer at 23/4 (6.75) on Sunday.
You can get both teams to score at Stamford Bridge at 49/50 (1.98) – with Chelsea to score in the first half 3/4 (1.75).
Four or more goals to go in during the first half is a 16/1 (17.00) bet.
We have Marcos Alonso at 5/1 (6.00) to score any time – with Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger a 10/1 (11.00) chance to find the net.
Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs will want to take their annoyance at the North London derby postponement out on another one of the clubs they’re really not at all keen on.
After the Gunners’ request to call off their game against Tottenham was granted, it left many up the road even more determined to beat their rivals to fourth place.
Doing something that they rarely do and leave Stamford Bridge with three points will certainly help the charge for the UCL.
Tottenham have grown under Conte, but their supporters want to see further proof of that this weekend.
They can’t afford another repeat of their no show in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg – but have they got enough to go and win at their rivals?
Will both teams leave with a point? The score draw is 41/10 (5.10) with LV BET
You can get a 2-0 Tottenham win in west London at 25/1 (26.00).
With Son Heung-min on the injury list it time for Dele Alli to shine? He is 21/4 (6.25) to score at any time.
A Harry Kane hat-trick is a 40/1 (41.00) bet.
