Chelsea Vs Tottenham
Chelsea is usually upbeat when Tottenham travels across London to visit Stamford Bridge, whatever of their current form. To put it politely, Spurs have an extremely dismal record there, and the Blues will be keen to take advantage of that psychological edge in order to win a crucial game on Thursday.
With the UEFA coefficient indicating that even fifth place should be sufficient to guarantee Champions League qualification, Enzo Maresca’s team entered the March international break sitting fourth in the Premier League. However, a severe decline in form and some terrible performances put their season in danger of slipping at the most critical juncture.
Tottenham sit at 14th place just above Everton due to higher goal difference
While Tottenham sit at 14th place just above Everton due to higher goal difference. Tottenham have struggled this season to keep up with the competition and have also suffered due to multiple injuries to players. The backine of Tottenham has been the most affected as Dragusin and Archie Gray have played the most part of the season as the Centre-back pairing for Spurs.
Given that Tottenham is one of the biggest clubs in London and has frequently been one of Chelsea’s closest rivals for a spot in Europe in recent years, their record at Stamford Bridge is genuinely appalling. It appears to be a mental obstacle they are unable to go past.
Seven years and two days have passed since Spurs’ lone victory at the Blues’ home field during the Premier League era.
Chelsea Vs Tottenham Team News-
Chelsea- Nicolas Jackson, Noni Madueke and Cole Palmer are back in the team and most probably they will start the game. With their addition to the squad, they look better on attacking perspectives and would look to penetrate the Tottenham defence regularly.

Tottenham- Cristian Romero will be back with his long lost centre back partner in Micky van De Ven. Djed Spence will also look to play the match even after Porro’s comeback into the team. He has been in great form and will look to start at either full-back position ahead of Pedro Porro or Destiny Udogie.
