Spurs are grappling with a large injury list heading into the derby. Defender Archie Gray is sidelined for several weeks with a calf complaint. Meanwhile Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie remain doubtful. Ben Davies, James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, and Yves Bissouma will also be missing the match. Manager Thomas Frank will likely rely on returning centre-back Micky van de Ven and the attacking trio – Richarlison, Mohammed Kudus and Mathys Tel – to spark a big performance.

Chelsea are dealing with several key absences of their own. Forward Liam Delap is suspended following a red card. Meanwhile Cole Palmer, Benoît Badiashile, Levi Colwill and Mykhaylo Mudryk are all unavailable through injuries. On the positive side, manager Enzo Maresca has confirmed that midfield linchpins Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo are available for selection despite recent knocks. Youngsters like Joao Pedro may feature in attack. Maresca will likely opt for a composed performance to offset the club’s injury woes.
This fixture appears poised for a closely-contested encounter rather than a goal-filled spectacle. Spurs have shown vulnerability at home this season. They’ve earned only one point from their last three league games at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Meanwhile, the Blues have managed a series of tight away results. They also tend to prioritise structure over wide-open attacking games in big matches. The combination of Tottenham’s defensive instability and Chelsea’s cautious away mindset suggests the final scoreline could stay under 2.5 goals.
Midfielder Enzo Fernandez offers long-range threat and creative impetus for Chelsea. He is often tasked with arriving from deep into advanced positions. Chelsea will likely keep a tight game plan and rely on counter-transitions. Hence, Fernandez’s ability to strike from distance or arrive late in the box makes him a valuable differential bet at this price. The injury-depleted Chelsea forward line means more creative responsibility may fall on Fernandez.
Richarlison brings speed, physicality, and versatility to Tottenham’s attack. His recent form has also shown growing influence in key moments. Given Tottenham’s attacking burden and their need for decisive contributions in this derby, Richarlison offers meaningful value as the man likely to either score or set up a decisive goal. With his knack for interplay and finishing, backing him to contribute any way possible is a logical move.
| Picks | Moneyline |
| Enzo Fernandez to score first | +1100 |
| Richarlison to score anytime | +185 |
| Estevao to assist anytime | +290 |
| Joao Pedro to either score or assist | +125 |

Tottenham will attempt to impose themselves at home. However, they may struggle to fully convert opportunities while still patching defensive gaps. Chelsea, though weakened, are experienced in managing tight away games and could strike once on transition. But their lack of striking firepower means they may settle for a share of the spoils.
Considering both teams’ injury-afflicted squads and the derby’s high-pressure environment, a 1-1 draw seems the most plausible outcome. The draw reflects a balancing of recent form, squad limitations and past records.
The Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea Premier League clash is on November 1, 2025, at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England.
Chelsea are favorites to win with a moneyline at +145, to draw at +250 and for Tottenham Hotspur to win at +175.
Enzo Fernandez to score anytime: +340
Estevao to assist anytime: +360
Richarlison to either score or assist: +114
