Tottenham face Chelsea in the Premier League in midweek as both teams look to build a bit of momentum as we head into the business end of the season.

Tottenham need to bring the feel-good factor back within the squad as theyඣ desperately try to win the Europa League and qualify for next season’s Champions League.

Ange Postecoglou is under pressure, and results need to improve quickly.

Meanwhile, the chasing pack are breathing down Chelsea’s neck as they look to hang onto their Champions League qualifica꧅tion spot.

Chris Sutton predicts Chelsea vs Tottenham

S🔴utton shared his verdict on how this game will go.

The pundit says that th🌺is should be a cracking game with plenty of goals.

Ultimately though, Sutton tipped Chelsea to w🌄in this match, claiming that the Blues will w🌃in 3-2.

“This is a🔯 great game to finish the week off.✱ It ended up 4-3 to Chelsea earlier in the season, and there are likely to be a few more goals this time too,” Sutton wrote.

“Chelsea have people💟 like Cole Palmer, Nicolas Jackson and Noni Madueke back from injury to bolster their attack, but Spurs have got some key players like Micky van de Ven fit again too.

“Tottenham’s league campaign has been disappointing – it is winning the Europ🍌a League or bust for them – while Chelsea are still chasing the Champions League places.

“Spurs looked tired to me before the international break, so it will be interesting to see what they are like here. We know how exciting they can be 🌟on their day, it is just those days have been few and far between t🃏his season.

“Chelsea have 🐓been a bit flat as well, but maybe this is the game where both ౠteams come to life and serve up a thriller – that is what I am hoping for anyway.”

Tottenham recent record vs Chelsea

Sutton believes that Chelsea🍒 will beat Spurs here, and his prediction is backed up 🅰by the formbook.

Indeed, Spurs have had a lot of trouble against Chelsea in recent times, particular🦩ly since Ange Postecoglou took charge.

Postecoglou famously suffered his fಌirst defeat as Spurs boss against Chelsea last season as Spurs lost 4-1 at home and went down to nine men.

Tottenham played a crazy style against Chelsea on that day.

That defeat started a real downturnඣ in form for Spurs, and, since then, t💧hings haven’t been the same.

Postecoglou has actually lost every game he’s played vs Chelsea so far, while Spurs themselves have won just ♒on෴e of their last 10 meetings against the west London side.

With Tottenham at th🔯eir low൩est ebb in years, Chelsea will certainly fancy their chances heading into this match, and, as Sutton says, the Blues could come away from this game with all three points.
