Tottenham vs Chelsea match review, 0:30 on November 2: Can Spurs break the curse?

VHO - Commentary on the match Tottenham vs Chelsea, round 10 of the Premier League, with only 1 win and 13 losses in the last 17 confrontations, the home team promises not to easily leave the London derby with 3 full points.

Tottenham vs Chelsea form

In his first season leading Tottenham, coach Thomas Frank was expected to bring home at least 1 title. But last week, Spurs had to say goodbye to the first arena and also the easiest trophy to get among the playgrounds they participated in.

Traveling to Newcastle's St James' Park, Thomas Frank's players did not play too badly but still had to accept defeat by two good aerial situations from their opponents. When they had the chance to finish, the Roosters strikers could not overcome the excellent form in goal of Aaron Ramsdale.

After a pretty impressive start, Spurs are showing signs of slowing down due to a more packed schedule. In their last 7 appearances in all competitions, the North London team have won just 2, drawn 3 and lost 2. Of which, in their last 2 home games, the home team disappointed when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wolves and lost 1-2 to Aston Villa.

However, in the Premier League, Tottenham are currently only 1 and 5 points behind Arsenal and Bournemouth, a ranking that clearly exceeds the expectations of fans after seeing their team perform very poorly in the Premier League last season.

But the scenario that Tottenham can maintain their position in the top 3 after round 10 has become quite uncertain. Because in addition to their lackluster performance at home recently, Spurs also have to enter the capital derby with their nemesis from West London.

In the last 10 encounters between Tottenham and Chelsea, the away team won 8, drew 1 and lost only 1. In 6 visits to the home of the Roosters, The Blues lost only 1 and won all 5 remaining matches.

Chelsea's current form is also showing more optimistic signs. In the last 6 appearances on all fronts, the team under coach Enzo Maresca has won 5 and lost 1. The last 3 away trips have also witnessed Joao Pedro and his teammates sing triumphant songs.

Chelsea have a very good head-to-head record in London derbies against Tottenham.

But the overall form of the away team in the Premier League is not really good. In the last 6 rounds, The Blues only won 2, drew 1 and lost 3. The performance that did not meet expectations caused Chelsea to fall to 9th place with 14 points, 8 points behind the top position held by Arsenal.

If they still want to compete for the championship, Chelsea need to make an effort to shorten the gap or at least maintain the gap until early next year. If they continue to show their winning streak against Tottenham, the task for Maresca and his team will be somewhat easier because in the next two rounds, they only have to face opponents struggling at the bottom of the table, Wolves and Burnley.
