Have a loss-proof bet on a Tottenham loss
The story of Tottenham's Premier League season has been one of countless good showings against the top teams, a reasonable number of triumphs against those in mid-table and then a catalogue of costly dropped points against the clubs at the bottom.
For that reason, there will be a fair few Spurs fans believing that they will give a good account of themselves at Stamford Bridge on Saturday teatime despite winning just one of their last ten games in all competitions, and that a scarcely emphatic 3-2 victory over Stoke at White Hart Lane.
Harry Redknapp's side also have a dismal record away to the Blues to contend with too, having last beaten them in west London in 1990. The Lilywhites' supporters will point out a similarly dreadful run against Arsenal was ended recently, but it's tough to fault Chelsea's status as [1.52] favourites.
Thanks to our special offer for those opening new Betfair accounts, you can bet up to £25 on this match and have your stake refunded if your punt proves unsuccessful.
Tottenham have lost on four of their last five trips across the capital to face the champions and have failed to score on three of their last four, so given that they have been shut out in five of their last eight fixtures, the home clean sheet at [2.3] and win to nil at [2.58] are both very appealing.
The visitors' defence hasn't been up to much in recent weeks either as their campaign threatens to suffer an underwhelming conclusion after the highs of victories over Inter, AC Milan and Arsenal, leaking two or more in four of their last five outings. It's [1.7] that Chelsea score in both halves.
