Premier League legend Alan Shearer has made his prediction ahead of the big game between Tottenham and Chelsea on Saturday.
The Blues head to north London looking to return to winning ways in the league having lost to Sunderland last weekend.
Chelsea returned to winning ways against Wolves in the Carabao Cup, but head into this game ninth in the league, whilst Spurs sit third.
Alan Shearer makes Tottenham vs Chelsea prediction
Chelsea have lost three of their last five league games, but boast a great record against Spurs and have lost just one of the last 11 meetings between the sides.
Enzo Maresca confirmed Enzo Fernandez, Moises Caicedo and Joao Pedro are all fit in a much needed triple injury boost.
Chelsea have scored four goals in each of their previous two visits to Spurs, but it feels like it could be a much cagier affair this time.
Paul Merson believes Pedro Neto must start, as he backed a narrow win for the Blues, and Shearer has now given his prediction.
“This game is always a tough one to call, always a bit of spice, always really interesting, and always chucks up some incidents,” Shearer told The Metro.
“We’ll have to wait and see, but with it being a London derby, I’m going to say a score draw in this one, and a point each.”
Enzo Maresca needs to sort discipline problem out
Chelsea’s disciplinary record has been shocking this season, with Liam Delap reaffirming that with a red card on his first game back from injury on Wednesday night.
If Chelsea are to have any chance then they need to keep 11 players on the pitch, but Shearer isn’t sure they’ll be able to.
“One thing Chelsea can’t afford is another red card. Losing a player in these games can make a huge difference, but it wouldn’t surprise me because there’s always a bit of needle in this game.
“Prediction – Draw.”
