Chelsea are not in action this weekend due to not having a fixture, but their next Premier League game is coming up on Monday evening instead due to the scheduling this weekend.
At least Chelsea fans can have a relaxing weekend without having to worry themselves about their beloved club messing it up, right?
But then on Monday they have to make the short trip to the team who are currently leading the league, Tottenham Hotspurs.
This will be no easy game for Chelsea as they look to improve their league form and results, but the score prediction is easy to make on paper, that is at least according to former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton this week.
He’s been putting out his full Premier League predictions ahead of the weekend in his latest BBC column, and Sutton believes Tottenham will beat Chelsea 2-0 on Monday night.
Although, Sutton admits to doubts about his own prediction, he said: “I’ve gone with Tottenham to win this one but, at the back of my mind, I have a nagging doubt about that.
“On paper, it’s pretty easy to predict how the game will go – Spurs are top of the table and haven’t lost under Ange Postecoglou, while Chelsea are so erratic.
“Pretty much everything points to a home win, but with Blues boss Mauricio Pochettino going back to Spurs for the first time since they sacked him in 2019, I am not so sure.
“I am still going to go with my instinct and back Tottenham, because I think they are a better team than Chelsea are – but the Pochettino factor makes me think that, somehow, his side will find a way to win, and he will be the one who bursts Postecoglou’s bubble.
“On top of that, Chelsea are the team who I can’t ever seem to pick the right result for.
“I actually did it twice this season – when they beat Luton and drew with Bournemouth – but I felt I had a better strike rate playing up front for them.
