Chelsea host Spurs in an English Premier League catch up match taking place on Thursday, a vital game for both sides in terms of their respective European qualification hopes.
Chelsea
Chelsea come into the game in ninth spot, sixth guarantees Euro football next season but its possible seventh may also be enough to qualify. They are currently 6 points behind sixth placed Man United and the gap to seventh placed Newcastle is 5 points and this is Chelsea's game in hand on those 2 clubs.
Chelsea came from 2-0 down to claim a very creditable 2-2 draw at Villa last weekend. That came on the back of a 5-0 hiding at Arsenal (their only loss in the last 10 league games) and a 1-0 defeat to Man City in the FA Cup semi final at Wembley.
Spurs
Spurs lost the North London derby 3-2 at home to Arsenal last weekend and they remain fifth in the standings, now 7 points behind fourth Villa but with 2 games in hand. Prior to that they threw in a shocker in a 4-0 defeat at Newcastle and they have only taken 1 point from their last 3 road trips.
Recent Head to Head
The first league meeting this season took place in early November and Spurs had 2 men sent off and went down 4-1
The corresponding fixture at Stamford Bridge last season finished 2-2.
The Betting
At the time of writing Chelsea are trading at 12/10 to win the game with the draw priced at 31/10 and Spurs can be backed at around 1.92/1
The Verdict:
It's a London derby and Spurs are not in the best of form when playing away from home but hopefully Son can grab the first one at a boosted price. As far as the match result goes the value lies with the draw in my opinion
Bets: Son to score the 1st goal, was 5/1 now 5.75/1 at Sportingbet
Match result draw at 31/10 widely available
Note, odds are correct at the time of writing but are subject to change
