Tottenham vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
In the semifinals of the Carabao Cup, an interesting poster is scheduled for Tuesday: Tottenham Hotspur then plays at Wembley against fellow townsman Chelsea. A London derby with a final place in the Carabao Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur:
Normally, clubs like Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea do not take the Carabao Cup too seriously. Especially not at an early stage of the tournament. Meanwhile, these two teams have reached the semi-finals and we can expect that both coaches will start with a strong team. At the Spurs they won the League Cup for the last time in 2008 and at Tottenham they undoubtedly want to grab that prize again. Especially since the Spurs do not close every season with honorary metal. On the other hand, at Tottenham they also understand that they still have a chance of winning the Premier League title and the Spurs are also still active in the FA Cup and the Champions League. Together with Manchester City and Chelsea, Tottenham still fights on four fronts.
In the FA Cup, Tottenham had no trouble with Tranmere Rovers on Friday-evening. That club is in ninth place in the League Two and that was enough reason for Mauricio Pochettino to give a number of strong holders rest on Friday night. Yet the Argentinean players like Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son just started. The latter was very accurate at Prenton Park and the Spurs won 0-7 at the club from the League Two. Against Chelsea, players like Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen will start again in the basic team of Pochettino, while Son is still there. He leaves the Asian Cup on Sunday-evening after the match against Manchester United and thus misses the return match in the Carabao Cup.
Chelsea:
Just like the Spurs, Chelsea is still active on four fronts this season. The Blues still compete for a top four-ranking in the Premier League, play in the Europa League, the FA Cup and are on Tuesday-evening in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup. In that respect, coach Maurizio Sarri has little to complain about his first season at Stamford Bridge. If the Italian succeeds to win the Europa League with Chelsea and he manages to finish in the top four of the Premier League, he has not done a bad job. In addition, Chelsea will also give everything to win the Carabao Cup, because The Blues have already come this far.
The Blues won their first FA Cup match this season, just like the Spurs. For Chelsea, the home game against Nottingham Forest was scheduled and The Blues won 2-0 by two goals from Álvaro Morata. After the game, however, it was not the goals of Morata, but the departure of his compatriot Cesc Fàbregas. The midfielder played against Nottingham Forest his 501th game in English football and that seems to have been his last. The Spaniard received an audience change from Sarri and may leave at Chelsea. He is on his way to the AS Monaco of Thierry Henry, which can use some reinforcements.
