Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Chelsea @ 1.80 (BlueBet)
Tip Result:: Win

Tottenham’s strong start to the campaign came to an abrupt halt with a listless display in which they lost 3-0 to Crystal Palace. Tottenham’s expected goals stat in that game was just 0.08. They desperately miss Son Heung-min, who remains out with a calf injury that he picked up on international duty. Steven Bergwijn and Ryan Sessegnon also picked up injuries on international duty and Eric Dier was injured against Palace. To compound matters, Cristian Romero, Davinson Sanchez and Giovani Lo Celso have been training in Croatia following their international appearances in red-listed South American countries. It’s touch and go whether they will be available for this clash, but either way, the build up isn’t ideal. These injury and travel absences are compounded by the suspension to Japhet Tanganga. Chelsea, meanwhile, have looked really impressive this season, winning three games by 2+ goals to go with clean sheets and drawing Liverpool at Anfield despite going down to ten at the end of the first half. Chelsea have gone 4-1-0 in their last five games against Tottenham and they won 3 of their last 4 visits to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, including the last two visits.
