The least promising of the results was a 4-0 loss to <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/13\/arsenal-leicester-city-predictions-best-odds\/\" target=\"_self\">Arsenal<\/a>, with both sides fielding one of their strongest lineups.<\/p>\n<p>This came shortly after a loss to Charlotte FC on penalties, with the club&#8217;s woes only broken up by a 3-1 victory against Udinese.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the Blues&#8217; first match is a promising sign of evolution for the club, it&#8217;s important to remember that it was against a side that spent last season desperately battling against relegation.<\/p>\n<h3>Tottenham Hotspur Current Run of Form<\/h3>\n<p>Spurs also started their season with a bang, putting four past <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/08\/07\/callum-hudson-odoi-chelsea-loan-exit\/\" target=\"_self\">Southampton<\/a> in a romping win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst the club didn&#8217;t have an ideal pre-season, it was still arguably better than that of Chelsea.<\/p>\n<p>A 1-0 loss to Jose Mourinho&#8217;s Roma was a disappointing end to pre-season, but a victory over Rangers and an incredibly tight draw against Sevilla prove that there is some potential to come from the North London club if they can keep their momentum up.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent Head to Head<\/h3>\n<p>Head-to-head results in recent years significantly favour Chelsea. You have to go back as far as 2018 for a Spurs victory over the Stamford Bridge outfit in the league, with the last five results all going against Tottenham.<\/p>\n<p>Not only have Chelsea won the past five matches, but the North London club have not scored a single goal against Chelsea in the league since February 2020. Both of last season&#8217;s matches saw the Blues dominate the Lilywhites, coming out on top in both possession, shots and, ultimately, goals.<\/p>\n<h3>Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>In spite of previous events, Antonio Conte&#8217;s side has a good chance of breaking their duck. Dejan Kulusevski and Son Heung-Min had an incredible performance against the Saints in the season opener, with Harry Kane always having the potential to perform.<\/p>\n<p>Thomas Tuchel&#8217;s men, on the other hand, had a relative overperformance at Goodison Park. The lack of control in midfield means that Spurs have the potential to exploit Chelsea&#8217;s weaknesses at Stamford Bridge, and with morale seemingly low at Cobham, scoring first could be the killer blow.<\/p>\n<p>Conte sides are impeccable at shutting up shop when leading, which is an ideal tool for keeping leads in tight matches like this could be.<\/p>\n<h3>Current Odds: Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur<\/h3>\n<p>Contrary to the above prediction, the bookies have Chelsea as favourites at 5\/4. Our prediction, a Spurs win, comes in at 21\/10, with a draw the least favoured outcome at 12\/5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur clash in one of the most important London derbies of the season at Stamford Bridge.
