HERE’S WHAT THE STATS SAY
Tottenham beat Chelsea 2-0 in February in their most recent Premier League meeting, ending an eight game winless run against the Blues (D2 L6). They last won back-to-back league games against Chelsea in November 2018.
Only Manchester United (15) have won more Premier League away games against Tottenham than Chelsea (14), while the Blues have scored more away goals against Spurs in the competition than any other side (51).
Tottenham Hotspur have picked up 26 points in their opening 10 Premier League games this season (W8 D2), their best start to a top-flight season since 1960-61 when they won their first 10 games and went on to win the title.
Chelsea have lost 15 Premier League games in 2023, only one fewer than they lost in 2021 and 2022 combined (16). It’s their most league defeats in a year since losing 15 in 1994, last losing more in 1993 (20).
Spurs have won their last four Premier League games, last winning five in a row in December 2018 when their manager was Mauricio Pochettino. On home soil, they’ve won all four games so far this season, with manager Ange Postecoglou looking to become the first Premier League manager to win his first five home games in the competition since Craig Shakespeare in May 2017 for Leicester City.
Since Chelsea’s first game after the departure of manager Graham Potter (April 4th v Liverpool), the Blues have won the fewest games of any ever-present Premier League side (4) and only Bournemouth have won as few points as they have (both 18).
Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has made the best ever start by a Premier League manager in his first 10 games in charge (W8 D2 – 26 points). Only two managers have ever avoided defeat in their first 11 games – Frank Clark in 1994 with Nottingham Forest (first 11) and Maurizio Sarri in 2018 with Chelsea (first 12).
Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino took charge of more Premier League games for Tottenham than any other manager (202). He'll become just the fifth manager to take charge against Spurs in a Premier League match having previously managed them in the competition after Martin Jol (W1 D0 L3), Chris Hughton (W1 D3 L4), Harry Redknapp (D1 L1) and Tim Sherwood (W1).
Only Erling Haaland (11) has scored more Premier League goals this season than Tottenham’s Son Heung Min (8). He has also scored in each of his last three London derby appearances, scoring two against Arsenal and one each against Fulham and Crystal Palace.
Chelsea have given more minutes to players aged 21 or younger in the Premier League than any other side this season (2Â 941). Against Brentford, Deivid Washington became the ninth different player aged 21 or younger to make their first Premier League appearance for Chelsea this season (Ugochukwu, Gusto, Colwill, Maatsen, Burstow, Caicedo, Palmer, Matos & Washington), the most debuts awarded by a team to players 21 or younger in the opening 10 games of a season in Premier League history.
