Tottenham now know they can secure Premier League safety with a win at old rivals Chelsea.
West Ham’s 3-1 loss at Newcastle last Sunday should have given Roberto De Zerbi’s side a huge boost ahead of kick-off.
And even though Xabi Alonso has been officially announced as the Blues’ new manager for next season, the team may still be reeling from their 1-0 FA Cup final defeat to Manchester City on the weekend – so this really is a massive opportunity for the visitors.
Check out our full sports betting preview for Tuesday night’s London derby, and we have also chosen some tips based on the latest Premier League odds.
And if your bet on this match – or any other for that matter – is coming in with time still left to play, NetBet’s Cash Out feature allows you to collect potential winnings early.

Chelsea vs Tottenham Preview
Recent results
Chelsea’s 1-0 loss to City at Wembley means it is just two wins recorded in the last 12 matches across all competitions. The Blues’ previous home game saw them lose 3-1 to a second-string Nottingham Forest side, though Calum McFarlane’s men did at least manage to draw 1-1 at Liverpool shortly after.
Spurs drew 1-1 with Leeds last Monday, which ended a run of two straight victories following successes over Wolves (0-1) and Aston Villa (1-2). But De Zerbi has lost just one of five matches since he took charge, the 1-0 defeat at Sunderland.
Head-to-head record
Spurs have won just once (yes, ONCE) at Stamford Bridge since 1990, a woeful record which remains one of the most bizarre in the Premier League.
And Chelsea have won 10 of the last 12 meetings at any ground across all competitions, including each of the previous five in the top flight.
Last season’s match at Stamford Bridge finished 1-0 in the hosts’ favour, with the fixture at Spurs earlier this campaign also ending with a 1-0 Blues victory.
Team news
Estevao, Jesse Derry and Jamie Gittens are the injury absentees for Chelsea here.
Spurs are still missing a host of key players, with Xavi Simons, Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert, Dejan Kulusevski and Cristian Romero all ruled out. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is also a doubt.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Odds
*All odds are subject to change
Chelsea are the big favourites to win the London derby at a price of 1.96. A victory for Spurs is at odds of 3.58, while the draw is 3.45.
Chelsea vs Tottenham Betting Tips
Both teams to score – Yes @ 1.47
This BTTS pick has landed in each of Chelsea’s previous two top-flight fixtures, as well as in three of Spurs’ last four. As such, it looks a great leg for a combo bet.
Both teams to receive two or more cards – Yes @ 1.48
Not only is this a fierce London derby, it is also a clash between the teams with the worst disciplinary records in the Premier League this season. Chelsea have collected 81 yellow and seven red cards, while Spurs lead the way in the division with 91 yellows and four reds. So backing each side to pick up at least two cards looks a solid pre-match pick here – even if the odds are not the most attractive. Ex-Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher has been booked in two of Spurs’ previous three games!
Player to score or assist – Joao Pedro @ 1.83
In a tough season for the Blues, Pedro has been a shining light. The Brazilian arrives at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday with 15 goals and five assists in Premier League action, and he scored the only goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium back in November. Over to you, Joao!
