“Chelsea fans, don’t come after me, but I have to be honest. This is going to be a tough one to call, and I believe neither team will come out on top this time. It’s going to be a draw.” – Alan Shearer gives his balanced prediction for the highly anticipated London derby between Tottenham and Chelsea. The Premier League legend shared his thoughts, explaining why he believes the points will be split in this crucial clash.

Chelsea face off against London rivals Tottenham this Sunday as they navigate a packed December schedule.

The Blues head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a Premier League clash, a fixture they dominated last season with an emphatic 4-1 victory. Chelsea have also enjoyed success in recent meetings, winning seven out of their last 10 encounters across all competitions.

Enzo Maresca’s team comes into the game riding a four-match winning streak, including three consecutive league victories. Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou has acknowledged Chelsea’s strong form and anticipates a challenging London derby.

Alan Shearer’s Prediction
Premier League legend Alan Shearer has predicted a draw in this weekend’s clash between Spurs and Chelsea. Speaking to The Metro, Shearer stated:
“Maresca is doing a fantastic job, but I think this will end in a draw. It’s a London derby at Spurs’ ground, so I believe the points will be shared.”

Similarly, former Chelsea player Jason Cundy also forecasts a stalemate in this hotly anticipated matchup.

Chelsea’s Away Form
Chelsea’s impressive away record this season could tilt the odds in their favor. Maresca’s side boasts five wins, one draw, and just one defeat on the road in the league, making them a formidable opponent in away fixtures.

Exploiting Spurs’ High Line
Under Postecoglou, Spurs often play a high defensive line, leaving space for quick counterattacks. Chelsea’s fleet-footed attackers, such as Nicolas Jackson, Pedro Neto, and Noni Madueke, could thrive in this setup.

Pat Nevin has highlighted Jackson’s “staggering pace” as a key asset, particularly given his four-goal haul against Spurs last season. The striker looks set to be a crucial player in Sunday’s match.

With both teams in solid form, the London derby promises to be an exciting and closely fought battle.
