SpursStadiumMonday night's English Premier League action sees Spurs bid to return to the top of the standings when they host Chelsea in a London derby

 

 

 

Spurs

 

After Saturday's results Spurs are in second spot, 1 point behind Manchester City with this game in hand. Spurs are unbeaten in the league with 8 wins and 2 draws and only 4 of those matches were home fixtures, all of which have seen Spurs claim maximum points. Manchester United lost 2-0 here and Sheffield United and Liverpool were beaten 2-1, more recently they were 2-0 winners against Fulham and in their last outing they won 2-1 in another London derby away to Palace.

Their only dropped points so far came in 2-2 draws, also in London, at Brentford and Arsenal.

On the teams news front fullbacks Udogie and Davies were both injury doubts but by no means ruled out.

Chelsea

 

After taking 7 points from their previous 3 matches Chelsea let favourite backers down last time out when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Brentford. That leaves them with 12 points from 10 matches and just below half way in the standings. Away form comprises of wins at Fulham (2-0) and Burlney (4-1), a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth and 3-1 defeat at West Ham. A recent London derby with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge finished 2-2.

 

As far as the team news in concerned Mudryk and Broja are injury doubts but Reece James has returned to action

 

Recent Head to Head

 

This fixture finished 2-0 to Spurs last season and an earlier game at Chelsea ended in a 2-2 draw.

 

 

The Betting

 

At the time of writing Spurs are trading at 12/10 to win the game with the draw priced at 27/10 and Chelsea can be backed at around 21/10

 

A game of 3 goals or more is priced at 7/10 and it's 6/10 for both teams to score

 

The Verdict:

 

Potch takes his Chelsea side back to hos old club and after their upturn in form was derailed by Brentford I really don't know what to make of them.

 

Spurs have scored exactly 2 goals in 8 of their 10 EPL matches, a uncanny trend which might be worth following although I'm with 2-3 in the goal range market.

 

Additionally we had some joy in the any time goalscorer markets on Saturday and I'm still keeping the faith with Pedro Porro to pop up any time

 

Bets: Goal Range 2-3 at 21/20 with BoyleSports
