Game Prediction
On Thursday, May 2, 2024, in a rescheduled match of the 26th round of the English Premier League, Chelsea will host Tottenham. The away team is primarily motivated by the tournament. However, Pochettino gets a chance to challenge the club where he became a top-level manager.
Key statistics and trends:
- Matches involving Pochettino's team are often spectacular even by Premier League standards. Between Chelsea's losses to Liverpool, there were 8 consecutive matches where at least four goals were scored.
- Son and his team this year have only won away in the Premier League against direct competitors like Aston Villa, with a score of 4-0.
- Cole Palmer has scored almost a third of all goals for his new team in the Premier League - 20.
Chelsea - Form analysis: The club produces the most spectacular matches in all of England
The "Blues" have only failed to score in key matches at Wembley, against Liverpool in the League Cup final, and against Manchester City in the cup semi-final. In both cases, the opponent scored a late goal despite numerous opportunities by Jackson and his teammates. Against "City," there were 10 shots, half of which were on target. In the Premier League, the attack is stronger, but the defense has been lacking since late January, with only Everton failing to score. Even underdogs like Sheffield United and Burnley managed 2-2 draws. This result was also repeated against Aston Villa, but Chelsea managed to equalize with 2 goals after halftime.
Tottenham - Form analysis: The club depends on its home field.
The "Spurs" face the challenge of fighting for a return to the Champions League. They cannot catch up with the top three but must win against Aston Villa for the last available "ticket." At home, Son and his team have an excellent record - defeating all opponents since December 10, except Wolverhampton, though they always concede. The derby against Arsenal ended in a home defeat. However, away from home after the "honeymoon period" under Postecoglou's leadership, they started with 2 wins and 10 points in 10 recent away matches. In the last three away games, they suffered a 0-3 loss to Fulham and a 0-4 loss to Tottenham, drawing 1-1 with West Ham.
Chelsea: Team news
Robert Sanchez will not recover from illness. There are also injuries to James, Colwill, Lavia, Nkunku, and Fofana.
Tottenham: Team news
Solomon and Richarlison have knee problems. There are also injuries to Forster and Sessegnon.
