Tottenham Hotspur have got more than a puncher’s chance of landing a victory at Stamford Bridge this weekend. The Sunday afternoon clash is a must-watch spectacle and there is plenty to like about the 12/5 that the visitors claim a win in this London derby and continue their 100% start to the season.

Spurs came from behind to win 4-1 against Southampton last weekend, with first-choice full-backs Ivan Perisic and Matt Doherty left on the bench, while star forwards Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane had no goals and only one assist between them, with Dejan Kulusevski playing a starring role in central midfield.

This will clearly be a tougher assignment for Antonio Conte’s side who achieved the win over the Saints without really getting out of second gear, although the Italian now has strength in depth all over the pitch and he might consider this a good time to be facing a Chelsea side in a state of flux.

The Blues were able to grind out a 1-0 win at Goodison Park last Saturday thanks to a Jorginho penalty although it wasn’t a particularly high-quality performance against a toothless Everton side who lost two centre-backs throughout the ninety minutes.

The big pluses were the performances of the evergreen Thiago Silva and the new signing Kalidou Koulibaly, with Marc Cucurella potentially making his bow in this London derby and there is plenty of steel in the midfield engine room thanks to N’Golo Kante and Jorginho.

What Are the Best Bets for Chelsea v Tottenham?

We think this could be an opportunity to get with Tottenham in some shape or form. There are worse bets than to simply back them to win on the Full-Time Result market, while you can alternatively look to side with them on an Asian Handicap market if you feel strongly that they can avoid defeat.

It’s hard to escape the conclusion that this will be a fiery game with plenty of needle and perhaps there’s a case for backing a high number of cards to be shown during the ninety minutes. Both managers will want to be defensively tight and this could mean a strong rearguard showing which leads to Under 2.5 Goals.
