Chelsea will play host to Tottenham Hotspur in a Premier League fixture at Stamford Bridge on Thursday night. The hosts are heading into the match on the back of a 2-2 draw away to Aston Villa on Sunday, while Spurs suffered 3-2 defeat to league-leaders Arsenal last time out. Despite the loss, the visitors are occupying fifth spot in the English top flight standings, having collected 60 points from 33 games, seven adrift of fourth-placed Aston Villa, who have played two games more. The Blues, meanwhile, are sitting at the ninth position, with 48 points to their name from 33 league matches, six short of sixth-placed Manchester United but with a game in hand.
Chelsea have recorded 13 wins, nine draws and 11 defeats from 33 Premier League games this term. Their last success came against Everton mid-way through this month, courtesy of scoring six goals without reply. The result extended their unbeaten run to eight games in all competitions. However, after that, the Blues suffered a narrow 1-0 semi-final loss to Manchester City in FA Cup, before being thrashed 5-0 by Arsenal in the league. On Sunday, Maurico Pochettino’s side fought back from 2-0 down to earn a point at Villa Park thanks to second-half efforts from Noni Madueke and Conor Gallagher.
Tottenham, on the other hand, probably missed their chance to climb to the top four courtesy of losing back-to-back games against the likes of Newcastle United and Arsenal. After being thrashed 4-0 by the Magpies at St James Park on April 13, Spurs hosted the Gunners at Tottenham Hotspur stadium on Sunday. Although Ange Postecoglu’s side fought back from 3-0 down to make the score 3-2 thanks to second-half efforts from Christain Romero and Son Heung min, Mikel Arteta’s side managed to take all three points. With just two wins coming from their last ten league games on the road and one goal to show from their last three away games, the Australian tactician has reasons to worry as three of their final five fixtures will be played away from home.
Chelsea probable starting lineup: Petrovic, Chalobah, Disasi, Badiashile, Cucurella, Caicedo, Gallagher, Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk, Jackson
Tottenham Hotspur probable starting lineup: Vicario, Porro, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies, Sarr, Bissouma, Kulusevski, Maddison, Son, Richarlison
