Spurs vs Chelsea Showdown: Essential Premier League Fixture Stats You Need to Know
The highly anticipated London derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea will take place this Saturday at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The match is set to kick off at 5:30 PM, a time that has historically favored Spurs.
Spurs’ Strong Record at 5:30 PM Kick-offs
In their last ten league games starting at this time, Tottenham has achieved eight victories. The team has maintained a solid defensive record, securing seven clean sheets during this period. They recently triumphed in two away games, defeating Manchester City 4-0 in November 2024 and West Ham United 3-0 in October 2025.
Home Game Performance Since 2010
At home, Spurs have played 18 Premier League matches at this kick-off time since 2010. Their results include:
- 12 Wins
- 4 Draws
- 2 Losses
Conversely, Chelsea has faced challenges in similar Saturday fixtures. They have secured only two wins out of their last eleven league games at this kick-off time, resulting in four draws and five losses. Their recent victory against Liverpool (2-1) was a rare bright spot, but Chelsea has struggled in away games, losing all three previous 5:30 PM fixtures.
Current League Standings and Team Form
As of now, Spurs sit third in the league, while Chelsea occupies the ninth position, trailing Spurs by three points. Thomas Frank, Spurs’ manager, is eager to lead his team to victory in this rivalry, which would elevate them to second place in the standings.
Chelsea’s Recent Struggles
Chelsea’s last league match resulted in a 2-1 defeat against Sunderland at Stamford Bridge. They have lost three out of their last five league matches, causing concern among fans and analysts alike.
Thomas Frank’s History Against Chelsea
Despite Spurs’ struggles against Chelsea in recent years, Thomas Frank has had success in previous encounters. During his time at Brentford, he faced Chelsea eight times, securing three wins and three draws, with only two losses. However, he is yet to claim a victory at home against them.
With only one of their 17 points this season earned at home, Tottenham aims to improve their record. A win this Saturday would not only strengthen their position in the league but also offer an exhilarating boost against their arch-rivals.
