Chelsea’s rivalry with Tottenham Hotspur has been one of the most defining fixtures in the Premier League, and the Blues have consistently held the upper hand. As Chelsea prepares to face their North London rivals in Matchweek 30, the statistics tell a compelling story of dominance, with the Blues having an almost unbreakable grip on this fixture.

Historical Dominance

Chelsea's record against Spurs in the Premier League is impressive. Their 3-4 win in their latest encounter against Tottenham marked Chelsea’s 36th Premier League victory over the Lilywhites—more than any other team in the competition’s history.


This milestone highlights Chelsea’s supremacy in the fixture, further cementing their status as Tottenham’s ultimate nemesis. Tottenham have won just one game at Stamford Bridge in the last 32 years, underscoring Chelsea's fortress-like hold over their North London rivals.

Throughout the last 12 league meetings, Chelsea have won nine, drawn twice, and lost only once—an unfortunate 2-0 defeat at Tottenham's home ground in February 2023. Spurs have struggled to break through Chelsea’s defense, and in total, they’ve conceded 120 Premier League goals to the Blues—more than they’ve let in against any other team. Chelsea, it seems, have become Tottenham’s recurring nightmare.
