Tottenham vs Chelsea Preview
Ange Postecoglou was booed by the Spurs faithful after their last Premier League fixture, as the Lilwhites suffered a disappointing defeat away at Bournemouth.
The Cherries were superior in all departments and Dean Huijsen’s header was enough to put more pressure on the Spurs manager.
Tottenham currently sit in 10th place and are five points of the Champions League spots which has made Postecoglou one the favourites to become the next sacked Premier League manager on UK betting sites.
On the other hand, Chelsea are enjoying some of their best form in recent years and are unbeaten from their last seven in all competitions.
Enzo Maresca has turned things around at Stamford Bridge and the Blues are second in the Premier League above the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City.
Chelsea will be full of confidence when travelling to north London after their latest Premier League victory, as they thrashed Southampton 5-1.

Tottenham vs Chelsea Prediction
A derby day match-up tends to make form go out of the window, however, it is hard to ignore the difference in performances from both teams.
Chelsea’s recent run alongside Spurs’ underwhelming performances mean that an away victory is the most likely option on Sunday afternoon.
Prediction: Tottenham 1-2 Chelsea
