Tottenham vs. Chelsea prediction, lineups, odds, TV and bet builder tips for Premier League London derby  image

Tottenham and Chelsea clash in an exciting Premier League London derby with just three points between the sides after nine games. 

Spurs crashed out of the League Cup in midweek at Newcastle but come into the weekend sat in third following a fine 3-0 win over Everton last weekend. While no side has won more points on the road than Thomas Frank's side, they have failed to win at home since the opening day. 

Enzo Maresca will hope to capitalise on that and the Blues have a fantastic recent record against Spurs, scoring four on each of their last two trips. They also hit four in a chaotic League Cup win at Wolves on Wednesday night, bouncing back from a shock loss to Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. 

Both sides are maddeningly inconsistent so this should be an absolute thriller, and AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips, predictions and odds. 

Tottenham vs. Chelsea preview: Who will win?

This is a very difficult game to call with neither side totally convincing. 

Chelsea have a formidable recent record against Spurs, both home and away, and have scored four goals on their last two trips to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. However, the Blues also blow hot and cold by the game with big wins followed by crushing defeats. 

Spurs are a similar case, becoming the first side to win at Everton's new home just a week after a loss to Aston Villa at their own ground. They've just one point from their last three home games and that camr via a last-minute equaliser against Wolves.

With all that said, a score draw feels by far the most likely outcome, which would be enough for a payout on Paddy Power's big new customer offer for the weekend.

Tottenham vs. Chelsea Score Prediction 

When these sides meet, there is almost always goals. Last season saw a 4-3 thriller and the season before was even wilder with Chelsea beating nine-men Spurs 4-1 in one of the oddest games in recent Premier League history.

It should be more of the same on Saturday night with neither side rock-solid at the back despite decent defensive records and plenty of attackers on the pitch. 

A lively score draw feels the best bet here. 

Prediction: Tottenham 2-2 Chelsea (12/1 with Bet365)
