Starting XI

Manager
- X. Alonso
- R. De Zerbi
Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge in a Premier League London derby that carries real weight for both clubs at opposite ends of the table.
Xabi Alonso's Chelsea sit fourth in the Premier League, pressing for a Champions League place, and back-to-back top-flight wins over Everton and Bournemouth — the latter a 5-1 rout — have restored a sense of momentum at Stamford Bridge. Cole Palmer, who endured a difficult 2025-26 campaign that generated exit talk, appears to have rediscovered his form and confidence under Alonso.
Tottenham arrive in far less comfortable circumstances. Roberto De Zerbi's side sit 16th in the Premier League, and while a 3-1 win over Coventry City last time out ended a winless run, the north London club remain in the bottom half and face a steep climb if they are to threaten European qualification this season.
The Blues carry a suspended first-team transfer ban as a consequence of historic financial breaches from the Abramovich era, adding an off-field dimension to a club that cannot afford further regulatory missteps. De Zerbi's Spurs, by contrast, carry the weight of a fanbase that has learned to expect the unexpected — and not always in a good way.
Both managers will be aware that derby results carry a disproportionate significance in the minds of supporters. For Chelsea, three points would cement their position in the top four. For Spurs, a result at Stamford Bridge would provide genuine evidence that their season is turning.

Form
Chelsea have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last five matches. Their most recent Premier League outing ended in a 2-0 win at Everton, and they followed a 3-0 defeat to Brentford with back-to-back top-flight victories. A 5-1 win over Bournemouth and a 6-3 Carabao Cup victory over Leeds United are the standout results in that run. Across the five matches, Alonso's side scored 16 goals and conceded nine.
Tottenham's last five matches produced two wins, two draws, and one defeat. De Zerbi's side beat Coventry City 3-1 in their most recent outing, their first Premier League win of the 2026-27 season, and drew 1-1 with Manchester United before that. They lost 2-3 to Aston Villa and were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool in the Carabao Cup, while a goalless draw at Everton rounds out the five. Spurs scored six goals and conceded six across those fixtures.
Head-to-Head Record
The most recent competitive meeting between the two clubs came in the Premier League on 19 May 2026, when Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-1 at Stamford Bridge. Before that, Tottenham won 0-1 at Stamford Bridge in November 2025, and Chelsea claimed a 1-0 home win in April 2025. Across the last five head-to-head fixtures — which includes a pre-season friendly in August 2026 that Tottenham won 1-2 — Chelsea hold three wins to Tottenham's two.
Standings
In the Premier League table, Chelsea's fourth-place position puts them firmly in contention for Champions League football, while Tottenham's 17th-place standing leaves them just above the relegation zone and in need of a swift improvement in results.
