Chelsea vs Tottenham prediction, lineups, results and betting tips brought to you by oddschecker expert Scott Thornton.
20:00 Thursday
Chelsea and Tottenham face off in a London derby on Thursday night. Both teams are struggling to string results together but neither of their European dreams are dead just yet. Will Chelsea take a step towards Europa League qualification or will Spurs gain on Villa in their hunt for Champions League places?
Chelsea vs Tottenham Prediction
Chelsea were denied a late winner at Aston Villa on Saturday night as they were forced to share the spoils in an entertaining game at Villa Park. The Blues are winless in three and have won one of their last five heading into Thursday's welcome of Tottenham.
Spurs battled well in the second half against Arsenal but ultimately fell to a 3-2 loss to their rivals. This is one of two games in hand on Villa above them as they chase down a top-four finish.
Spurs don't have a great record at Stamford Bridge and have been poor on their travels of late. Chelsea aren't exactly sweeping opponents aside and with neither team in good form, fans could be in for a goalfest on Thursday night.
