Chelsea is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches, but they have also been away from home in their last 3 matches against some tough opponents as well. They lost 1-0 to Man City in the FA Cup and lost 5-0 to Arsenal, but they are coming off of a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa in their last match and will have some confidence here after getting back in their scoring rhythm. When playing at home, they have been in much better form recently as they have won their last 2 straight as well as 5 of their last 6 matches with no losses in that span. Their attack has been on fire in those as well as they have scored at least 2 goals in all 6 of those matches, scoring at least 3 goals in 5 of those as well as scoring 10 goals in their last 2 matches alone there. They are going up against a Tottenham side that has not been in great form in their recent matches. They have lost their last 2 straight as well as 3 of their last 6 matches and they only have 1 win in their last 4. Their defense has not been good in these either as they have allowed 7 goals in their last 2 matches alone. When playing away from home, they have been much worse recently as they have lost 2 of their last 3 matches with no wins in that span, scoring just 1 goal in those 3 matches while allowing 8 goals. Tottenham has not been in good form in their recent matches or away from home as their defense has been conceding a lot of goals and that is going to be trouble in this match with that potent Chelsea attack. Chelsea almost came back to win down 2-0 at Aston Villa in their last match and they scored 6 goals the last time they were at home so they are going to have confidence here. They also won the reverse fixture at Tottenham 4-1 and Tottenham rocks a very high defensive line similar to Aston Villa so the Chelsea attack is going to have them on their heels all match. Chelsea is going to win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
