Chelsea v Spurs Betting Tips: Can Kane and co win again at the Bridge?

The big question for Sarri tonight is does he play Kepa Arrizabalaga after the Spaniard’s antics in Sunday’s Carabao Cup final? Kepa has already been fined by the club, and Willy Caballero is ready to start if Sarri punishes him further.

Sarri must also choose between starting Gonzalo Higuain up front, or going with the Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro trio of false strikers as he did against Man City at the weekend.

N’Golo Kante is again set to play his forward-pressing role.

Key battles

Both teams will be going all out for this one. Who knows what a defeat could do for Sarri’s future at Chelsea, while defeat would be the nail in the coffin for any title hopes Spurs’ still harbour.

Spurs were sensational in their 3-1 win over Chelsea in the reverse meeting at Wembley in November. The Blues couldn’t cope with the movement of Eriksen, Son, Alli and Kane.

Expect more of the same tonight, with Moura or Lamela filling in for Alli. Can Sarri’s defence put on a stronger display this time around? It could be a long night if they can’t.

At the other end, Spurs struggled with Burnley’s physical and aerial power on Saturday. That could see Sarri opt for Higuain or Giroud up front tonight. Kane will again press high and hustle any ball-playing between the Spurs defenders.

Match odds

Despite their recent woes, Chelsea are 5/4 favourites for this one, but Spurs’ strength is emphasised by their 11/5 price. A draw can be backed at 5/2.

Goals are frequent in this clash, with six of the last eight league meetings seeing both teams find the net. There’s 8/13 about Both Teams to Score tonight, and 3/4 for over 2.5 goals.

But who gets them? Higuain is the 4/1 favourite to score first, ahead of Kane and Hazard at 9/2. There’s 5/1 about the in-form Son breaking the deadlock, while there’s 4/1 about Eriksen netting at the Bridge for the third league game in a row.
