Chelsea v Tottenham: Blues favoured to extend six-match Premier League winning run

Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge on 24 October 2026, with the Blues aiming to strengthen their position in the Premier League’s top four and the visitors seeking further distance from the relegation zone. The match is scheduled to begin at 16:30 GMT.

Chelsea are fourth, three points behind third-placed Brighton, while Tottenham Hotspur have made a difficult start to the 2026-27 campaign and are only one point clear of the bottom three.

Chelsea in strong attacking form

Chelsea FC have recorded four wins, one draw and two defeats in their seven league outings. With no European football this season, the Blues can concentrate on the Premier League after a disappointing previous campaign.

Their form has improved since the latest international break. They have won both of their subsequent matches, beating Bournemouth 5-1 before a 2-0 victory away to Everton last Saturday. Pedro Neto, Jordan Henderson and Joao Pedro have each scored twice across those two games.

Joao Pedro has made a particularly strong start, with five goals and three assists in six appearances. Chelsea’s attacking intent is also reflected in their shooting figures: they have attempted at least 10 shots in every Premier League match this season.

Nasser Eddy, a consultant for NCI Sport and presenter of the European Champions League on radio Nostalgie, expects Chelsea’s greater consistency and control to prove decisive.

Tottenham looking for another lift

Tottenham Hotspur ended a run of three defeats in their previous three matches by beating Coventry 3-1 on Monday. It was only their first victory in seven Premier League games, however, and the club remain close to the relegation places after narrowly avoiding relegation last season.

The north London side did not score their first league goal until the fifth round of matches. They have since found the net in each of their past three Premier League fixtures.

Tottenham have matched their opponents’ corner totals in each of their last two games, held more possession in both matches and attempted 48 shots across their past three league outings.

Recent meetings favour Chelsea

Chelsea and Tottenham have met around 180 times over more than a century. In the last 45 meetings, Chelsea have won 29, Tottenham nine and the remaining 11 ended in draws.

The Blues have also won their past six Premier League games against Tottenham. Spurs have not won at Stamford Bridge in 11 official matches in all competitions, with their last victory there coming on 1 April 2018.

Morgan Rogers key to Chelsea attack

Morgan Rogers, the most expensive English player in history and Chelsea’s record signing, has made an immediate impact since arriving from Aston Villa.

The 24-year-old attacking midfielder has scored four goals and provided one assist in seven Premier League appearances. He has contributed directly to goals in three of Chelsea’s last four league matches and is expected to be central to Xabi Alonzo’s plans again.

The listed 1xBet prices include 1.75 for a Chelsea win, 7.5 for a 2-1 scoreline, 8.8 for level corners, and 1.8 for more than 26.5 total shots. Joao Pedro is priced at 2.03 to score at any time, with Rogers at 2.9.

The match prediction gives Chelsea a 1.75 price to win, while a 3-1 result is listed at 7.5. A draw on corners is also priced at 8.8. Joao Pedro and Rogers are the recommended anytime goalscorers. The odds may change.
