Chelsea are in the best psychological position facing Tottenham: it’s a derby, one they are motivated for not by their own achievements, but by the thought of tarnishing the achievements of their opponents. Spurs title dreams are effectively over, but the hosts would love nothing more than to end them for definite. Obviously this fact alone isn’t enough to see Chelsea take three points, but it should lead to an open, attacking game at least, which consequently is the sort of game that Spurs relish. Pochettino’s side haven’t tended to conceded that much this season, but they have been involved in games with 3 or more goals in three of their last five.
Given the circumstances surrounding this one, over 2.5 goals, at odds of 1.90, looks a good bet once more.
