Chelsea will host Tottenham on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 16:00 (Brasilia time) for the 30th round of the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in London. This highly anticipated match promises to be an exciting encounter as both teams vie for crucial points in their respective campaigns.
Currently, Chelsea sits in 6th place in the Premier League table with 49 points, having achieved 14 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses so far this season. The Blues are on a positive run, winning their last four Premier League matches at home and looking to extend that streak against their local rivals. Chelsea's manager, Enzo Maresca, is keen to secure a spot in the top four, with his team just one point ahead of Manchester City and two points above Newcastle.
In contrast, Tottenham finds itself languishing in 14th place with 34 points, having recorded 10 wins, 4 draws, and 15 losses. The Spurs are under pressure after a disappointing run of form, including a recent 2-0 defeat to Fulham just before the international break. Manager Ange Postecoglou is facing mounting scrutiny, and a loss to Chelsea could make him the first Spurs coach to lose his first four matches against the Blues in the Premier League.
The last time these two teams met, Chelsea emerged victorious in a thrilling 4-3 encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. That match showcased the attacking prowess of both sides, and fans are hoping for another high-scoring affair this time around.
As for the lineups, Chelsea is expected to field a strong team, with Robert Sánchez in goal and a defensive line that includes Reece James, Wesley Fofana, Lewis Colwill, and Marc Cucurella. In midfield, Moisés Caicedo and Enzo Fernández will look to control the game, while the attacking trio of Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, and Jadon Sancho will support striker Nicolas Jackson.
Tottenham's lineup is likely to feature Guglielmo Vicario in goal, supported by Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Djed Spence in defense. The midfield will see Pape Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur, and James Maddison, while Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, and Heung-min Son will lead the attack.
However, both teams will face some absences. Chelsea will be without Mykhaylo Mudryk, who is suspended, while Marc Guiu and Omari Kellyman are sidelined due to injuries. Tottenham will have to manage potential absences as well, with Lucas Bergvall, Dejan Kulusevski, Kevin Danso, and Richarlison all doubtful for the match. Radu Dragusin is confirmed to be injured.
The match will be broadcast live on ESPN and Disney+, providing fans with multiple options to catch the action. As kickoff approaches, anticipation is building for what promises to be an intense London derby. Will Chelsea continue their home dominance, or can Tottenham turn their fortunes around and secure a vital win?
