Chelsea vs Tottenham Match Preview: Premier League Showdown

Chelsea host Tottenham at Stamford Bridge, London, on 19 May 2026 in Premier League Regular Season - 37. Chelsea enter the fixture 10th with 49 points and a goal difference of 6, while Tottenham sit 17th on 38 points with a goal difference of -9.

Chelsea Availability

Chelsea face a lengthy absentee list. J. Derry (Concussion) is sidelined. An unnamed attacker (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. J. Gittens (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. M. Mudryk (Suspended) is sidelined due to suspension. In addition, L. Colwill (Knee Injury) is doubtful and R. Lavia (Knock) is doubtful. None of Chelsea’s listed absentees feature among the league’s top scorers or assisters, so the attacking burden again falls on João Pedro, who has 15 goals and 5 assists and is available.

Tottenham Availability

Tottenham are also heavily depleted. B. Davies (Ankle Injury) is sidelined. M. Kudus (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. D. Kulusevski (Knee Injury) is sidelined. W. Odobert (Knee Injury) is sidelined. C. Romero (Knee Injury) is sidelined. X. Simons (Knee Injury) is sidelined. D. Solanke (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. J. Maddison (Injury) is doubtful.

Impact Summary

Chelsea’s main attacking output, led by João Pedro’s 15 goals, remains intact despite multiple injuries. Tottenham, whose leading scorer Richarlison has 10 goals and 4 assists and is available, lose depth and creativity through the absences of Kudus, Kulusevski, Odobert, Solanke and the doubtful Maddison, potentially limiting their attacking variety.
