Chelsea's form: goals flying in at both ends
Xabi Alonso's side have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 2 of their last six, and almost none of those games were quiet. Chelsea have scored two or more in 4 of 6 and conceded two or more in 4 of 6. Five of the six produced three goals or more.
The last two were a 2-0 win away to Everton, 7 days before this match, and a 5-1 win at home to Bournemouth 14 days before it. Go back further and the same team lost 0-3 at Brentford and drew 2-2 at home with Hull City. One clean sheet in six tells you plenty.
At home they have won 2 of 3.
Tottenham Hotspur's form: three draws and a scoring problem
Roberto De Zerbi's team have won once in six. Three draws, two defeats, 6 points, and 7 goals in total - they have failed to score in 2 of those 6 and managed two or more in only 2.
The 3-1 home win over Coventry City, 5 days before this match, was their first win of the run and their biggest return in front of goal. Before that came a 1-1 draw at Manchester United, a 2-3 home defeat by Aston Villa and goalless draws with Everton and Nottingham Forest.
Away from home in that spell: won 0 of 3.
Recent meetings and team news
The archive has two Chelsea v Tottenham Hotspur games. Chelsea won the Premier League meeting 2-1, 158 days before this one. Tottenham won the Club Friendly Games fixture 1-2 at Stamford Bridge, 84 days before it. Both were tight, both produced goals at both ends, which fits sides where both teams scored in 4 of the last 6.
Team news
Chelsea are without goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, out six to seven weeks after surgery on a fractured jaw sustained in a collision at Everton, with Mike Penders expected to start again, while Emmanuel Emegha is back in training without being match fit and Jamie Gittens is still recovering from an ankle injury, according to The False 9. Captain Reece James faces months out following knee surgery, with Alonso saying "It's not going to be short" and declining to commit to a date, per NBC Sports. Tottenham have Rodrigo Bentancur serving the second game of a three-match ban and Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro, Lucas Bergvall, Xavi Simons, Mykhailo Mudryk, Savio and Wilson Odobert all unavailable, with Andy Robertson, Tosin Adarabioyo and Omar Marmoush assessed after the Coventry game - De Zerbi said "I think there are no injuries, nothing important", as reported by Sports Mole. Dejan Kulusevski is back in the squad after 526 days out, Sky Sports reported.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur prediction
Chelsea should beat Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 24 October 2026, and we are calling it 2-1. Chelsea have 10 points from their last six against Tottenham's 6, and the home record - 2 wins from 3 - sits against a Tottenham away record of no wins in 3.
The caveat is Chelsea's defending. One clean sheet in six, and two or more conceded in 4 of 6, means a Tottenham side who have scored only 7 goals in that time will still get a chance. The last Premier League game between them finished 2-1 to Chelsea, and this looks similar.
Our prediction: Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
