Here are your betting guide and tips for the Premier League London derby between Chelsea and Tottenham.

The vibes around Stamford Bridge are unimaginably low at the moment. The team has been struggling for months on end, with only two wins in its previous 14 matches and six goals scored during that period. Off the pitch, things are even worse. The Chelsea fan base continues to embarrass itself at every turn in the form of a toxic online presence, with death threats even being sent to Graham Potter and his family. This behavior from so-called “supporters” is unacceptable, regardless of how anyone feels about the Blues’ current gaffer, and needs to stop immediately. Last weekend’s loss to Southampton was obviously extremely disappointing, but spewing hatred on social media won’t improve the situation at all. I don’t normally comment on the behavior of other fans, but the past few days’ events have been nothing short of disturbing. We need to do better.

With that off my chest, I’ll try to remain positive and focus on gambling for the remainder of this article. Chelsea’s next opponent, Tottenham Hotspur, has been very impressive for most of the Premier League season and currently sits fourth on the table. Sunday’s contest will be a massive test for the struggling Blues, but I have a sneaking suspicion they can walk away victorious. This matchup’s recent scorelines support my theory as well, as the pride of London has won nine of the previous 12 iterations.
