Tottenham vs Chelsea Prediction 01.11.2025 | Premier League

Thomas Frank’s influence is evident and continues to excite the fans, with a top-four finish now looking firmly within reach. The Danish tactician has guided his side impressively in domestic competition, with the team currently sitting third on 17 points—just five behind leaders Arsenal.

While Spurs have dazzled on the road, picking up an impressive 13 out of 15 points from their opening five away fixtures in the Premier League, they have struggled to replicate that brilliance at home. The team is currently trapped in a three-game winless streak on their own turf, having lost to Aston Villa and Bournemouth, and played out a draw against Wolves.

There are, however, small signs that the home hoodoo may soon be broken. Spurs have historically been vulnerable to their London rivals, having succumbed to Chelsea in five of their last six home encounters, suggesting a potential opportunity for a turnaround.

Complicating matters further for the weekend clash is a lengthy injury list. Head coach Thomas Frank has nine confirmed absentees, six or seven of whom are regular starters, while Destiny Udogie remains doubtful. These absences could make it challenging for Spurs to fully assert themselves in what promises to be a demanding fixture.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have shown flashes of brilliance but also frustrating inconsistency in their current Premier League campaign. Their recent outings perfectly capture that pattern — stunning Liverpool 2-1 and dismantling Nottingham Forest 3-0, only to undo all their progress last week with a shock 2-1 defeat to high-flying newcomers Sunderland.

A modest haul of 14 points leaves the Blues sitting ninth in the table, but a victory this weekend could see them draw level with their North London rivals. Encouragingly, they’ve shown signs of improvement on the road, winning three consecutive away fixtures — though two of those came in the EFL Cup.

Fortunately, Chelsea didn’t have to wait long to bounce back from their Sunderland setback, as they edged Wolves 4-3 in a seven-goal midweek thriller at Molineux, sealing their fifth win in six competitive matches and booking a place in the EFL Cup quarter-finals.

However, Liam Delap’s red card in that contest rules him out of Saturday’s trip to Tottenham, while the absentee list also includes injured quartet Levi Colwill, Benoit Badiashile, Dario Essugo, and star midfielder Cole Palmer — a blow that could test the squad’s depth in this crucial London derby.
