Chelsea vs. Tottenham Prediction: Can Son Heung-Min, Spurs Find the Net At Stamford Bridge?
In today's Premier League matchup we have Chelsea taking on Tottenham. Tottenham saw themselves get humiliated at halftime against their North London rivals mid week, they were lucky to get two goals back, but it simply showed the resilience this team has and their determination to score. I will explain down below why I will be taking Tottenham's team total goals.

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Prediction
Tottenham have played six games against the Big 6 this season and have covered this line in six out of seven of those games, with the one miss being a match where they received a red card in the first half. That game was actually against Chelsea, and you can be sure that Ange has his guys aiming for revenge tomorrow. Out of the 20 teams in the league, Tottenham rank sixth in most goals scored this season, scoring an average of 2.0 goals per game.
The driving factor for me here is Chelsea's recent performances coupled with their recent crisis. They'll be without arguably both of their best center backs tomorrow in Disasi and Silva. Which means they'll most likely play a back line that consists of Chalobah and Badiashile, and let me tell you this is not a good lineup for Chelsea. Their injury list has hit 12 players with 14 unavailable for tomorrow, that leaves them with 11 senior players and kids.
In their last 11 games, Chelsea have conceded over 1.5 goals in nine out of 11 games. They've played nine games against the Big 6 this season, conceding over 1.5 goals in seven out of nine of those games. Out of 20 teams in the league, Chelsea ranks eight in most goals conceded, conceding an average of 1.8 goals a game. For this reason, I am loving this play for Tottenham to score over 1.5 goals today.
