Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur: Team News and Expert Analysis
Under Maresca last season, the club from Stamford Bridge climbed to fourth place in the Premier League and also won new trophies for themselves—the Conference League and the FIFA Club World Cup. However, 2026 began with Enzo's dismissal. His successor had a record-short stint in charge—Rosenior was removed in less than four months. During that time, they were knocked out of the League Cup and Champions League, and in the summer, a losing streak started in the Premier League. Without Liam, they at least managed to beat Leeds in the cup and reached the final. On Saturday at Wembley, they narrowly lost to Manchester City. But in the Premier League, their losing run continued. Only against Liverpool did they manage a draw.
Their neighbor finished seventeenth a year ago. However, they won the Europa League. This season, they have also performed better on the international stage, but Atletico knocked the English side out in the Champions League playoffs. In the Premier League, after two managerial changes, they slipped into the relegation zone in spring. Only under De Zerbi did they manage to secure a couple of important wins. Still, there was a draw with Leeds.
The hosts have averaged 1.53 goals scored and 1.36 conceded per game. Their derby rival has a negative ratio: 1.28 goals scored and 1.53 conceded per match.
