Tottenham vs Chelsea F.C. Stats Ahead Of Sunday’s 4:30pm Clash
Tottenham vs Chelsea is always one of the most fierce games in the Premier League calendar and both clubs will be determined to pick up all three points.
Chelsea are seven points off league leaders Liverpool in third, while Tottenham are in need of a good result after a draw with Fulham was followed up by a defeat to Bournemouth.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have a poor record against Chelsea but do look better when it comes to playing the tougher teams in the Premier League this season.

Chaos In Tottenham Thrashing Last Season
It was a tough day at home for Tottenham when these two sides met on 6th November 2023.
Tottenham took an early lead through Dejan Kulusevski but goals from Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson put Chelsea in front.
Jackson then completed his hat-trick with two goals in stoppage time – after Tottenham saw red cards for both Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie during the game.
Later in the season, Trevoh Chalobah and Jackson scored in a 2-0 victory for Chelsea at Stamford Bridge over their rivals.
Just to add to the chaos a further five goals were disallowed and there was a slew of VAR decisions.

Son Heung-Min’s Horrendous Record Against Chelsea
One surprising stat when it comes to Tottenham vs Chelsea F.C. is just how bad Son Heung-min’s goalscoring record against the Blues is.
A former Golden Boot winner, Son is one of Tottenham’s most important goalscorers but he has struggled to hit his best against Chelsea.
Among teams he has played 1,000 + minutes against, Tottenham forward Son Heung-min’s worst minutes per goal rate in the Premier League is against Chelsea.
He has netted just twice in 16 appearances and 1,061 minutes of action versus the Blues (531 mins per goal).
That compares to Nicolas Jackson of Chelsea who only joined the Blues in the summer of 2023. Jackson has netted four goals in just two games against Tottenham.
The Battle Of The Bridge
Anytime these two sides meet up, memories always go back to the Battle of the Bridge in the 2015-16 season.
Tottenham travelled to Stamford Bridge in May 2016 knowing they had to win in order to stay in touch with Leicester City at the top of the table and remain in the hunt for a first top-flight title since 1961.
Their title dreams went up in smoke after what has gone down as one of the dirtiest clashes in Premier League history.
The match finished 2-2 but saw fights, an eye gouge, terrible tackles, 12 bookings – yet somehow neither side had a red card.
Last season’s match at Tottenham saw two red cards for the hosts, and it always seems like a game which has a strong chance of a red card.

On this day, in 2016, Chelsea drew 2-2 to Tottenham to hand Leicester City the Premier League title.
It all got a bit tasty in the second half. Just wait for Hazard's equaliser. 👊 pic.twitter.com/9TMOSOGqgM
