Frank Lampard’s lot are favourites to win today’s top of the table clash, as was the case when Tottenham faced Manchester United and Manchester City earlier this season. However, it would take some degree of detachment to ignore the fact that Spurs are looking like a different beast this season, with The City game in particular demonstrating and extraordinary levels of discipline.
Chelsea might edge Spurs in the betting, but one cannot help but conclude this is based upon historical data. Right now, Mourinho is conceding fewer goals, and keeping marginally more clean sheets. Whereas Lampard’s charges are more likely to win corners and to score first.
Where Spurs look notably attractive is in the xG market, and if we compare the 5 goal scorers from both teams this season, then Tottenham look to have the edge.
Son Heung-Min is @13/2 for First Goalscorer, as is Half Time Draw Full Time Tottenham.
