Chelsea host Tottenham at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League fixture that carries considerable weight for both clubs as the season reaches its conclusion.
For Chelsea, it is a match played under the long shadow of a turbulent campaign. The Blues were beaten 1-0 by Manchester City in the FA Cup final, and captain Reece James has since issued a public apology to supporters over the club's lack of results. The appointment of Xabi Alonso on a four-year contract, confirmed this week, signals that a new chapter is coming — but it will not begin until July 1, meaning this fixture is still played in the context of a season that has fallen well short of expectations.
Tottenham arrive at Stamford Bridge in their own precarious position. Sitting in the bottom half of the table, Spurs carry a lengthy injury list into the match, with several key figures unavailable across multiple positions.
The rivalry between these two London clubs has produced some sharp football in recent seasons. Chelsea have generally had the better of the recent meetings, though Tottenham have shown they are capable of making life difficult, as a 3-4 thriller at their own ground in December 2024 demonstrated.
For Chelsea, there is the added backdrop of a fanbase that has been asked to show patience through a prolonged period of underperformance. This is the kind of fixture where pride, if nothing else, demands a response.

Injuries and Suspensions
Form
Chelsea arrive at this fixture having won just one of their last five matches across all competitions, picking up a single victory against Leeds in the FA Cup. Their most recent outing ended in a 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the FA Cup final, and they have also lost to Nottingham Forest and Brighton in the Premier League during that run. A draw with Liverpool was the only positive league result. Across those five matches, Chelsea scored five goals and conceded six.
Tottenham have been more consistent, taking seven points from their last five Premier League games. They beat Aston Villa 2-1 and Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0 in back-to-back away wins, though they have drawn twice — against Leeds and Brighton — and suffered a defeat at Sunderland. Their most recent match ended 1-1 at Leeds.
Head-to-Head Record
Chelsea have dominated the recent head-to-head record between these clubs. The most recent meeting, played at Tottenham's ground in November 2025, ended 1-0 to Chelsea. In five Premier League meetings across this dataset, Chelsea have won four times, with Tottenham failing to win any. The series has not lacked drama — a 3-4 result at Spurs in December 2024 stands out as the most chaotic of the recent encounters — but the overall pattern has been one of Chelsea superiority in this fixture.
Standings
In the Premier League table, Chelsea sit in mid-table in tenth place, while Tottenham find themselves in 17th — close enough to the bottom of the division to make this fixture meaningful in terms of where Spurs finish the season.
