Supercomputer predicts Tottenham trend to extend to three years in Chelsea clash

Tottenham renew their rivalry with Chelsea on Saturday evening.

Roberto De Zerbi finally got his first Premier League win of the season with a 3-1 victory over Coventry on Monday.

The newly-promoted side were no match for James Maddison, Omar Marmoush and Ben Davies at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Xabi Alonso's side represent a much tougher test, though, and Spurs will have to be at their best for the three points.

The West London side sit fourth in the division, while the Lilywhites are now 16th after the most recent set of matches.

The supercomputer has made its prediction for the contest at Stamford Bridge, which kicks off at 5:30 pm.

What is the supercomputer's prediction for Chelsea vs Tottenham?

The Opta Analyst supercomputer gives the Blues a 55 per cent chance to win.

That would extend their streak of victories in recent league matches with Spurs to seven and continue the recent trend.

Tottenham are handed a 21.8 per cent chance to secure their second league victory of the season, and their first over Chelsea since November 2023.

Meanwhile, a draw between the sides is a more likely scenario, with a 23.2 per cent chance.

If the most likely result happens and Alonso's side win, it will extend the streak over three years, as the sides don't play again until May 2027.

Why Tottenham will feel they can upset Chelsea

Spurs have renewed hope after the result over the Sky Blues last time out gave them their first three points.

The return to form from Maddison provides encouragement, and Dejan Kulusevski's comeback from a long injury absence also gives hope to De Zerbi's men.

The fact that Marmoush scored his first league goal of the campaign will also give them confidence that he can kick on and get more contributions.

Sandro Tonali is also finally looking like the player that Spurs splashed £100million on to anchor the midfield.

Whether they can overcome the six-time champions on this occasion remains to be seen, but they are in a much better position that they were this time last week.

If they do upset the odds, and defy the supercomputer's prediction, then it will be a huge tonic to kickstart their campaign.
