Chelsea vs. Tottenham: Head-to-head record and past meetings

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 182

Spurs wins: 57

Draws: 42

Chelsea wins: 83

One week before Christmas Day 1909, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea met in a competitive match for the very first time, a Division One encounter that the Blues edged 2-1 for the first of their 83 wins in this fixture.

The two-time Champions League winners boast the overall bragging rights over Spurs, who have, by contrast, come up trumps in 57 of their 182 clashes with Chelsea, and the two London rivals have shared the points on 42 occasions.

Always a derby that promises flashpoints and flair, Chelsea triumphed twice in 2024-25, a 1-0 home success in April 2025 after a seven-goal spectacular in December 2024, where Enzo Maresca's men fought back from two goals down and Cole Palmer broke a Premier League penalty record.

It was Chelsea who condemned Ange Postecoglou to his maiden Premier League defeat in the Tottenham chair in November 2023, when ex-Lilywhites manager Mauricio Pochettino masterminded a 4-1 win over nine-man Spurs, who had both Cristian Romero and Destiny Udogie dismissed.

A less chaotic affair ensued at Stamford Bridge later that season, as Trevoh Chalobah and Nicolas Jackson registered in a 2-0 home victory for Chelsea in May 2024.

Prior to their first meeting of 2026-27, Spurs' only success in the last 14 competitive games was a 2-0 home triumph of their own in February 2023, several months on from a ferocious 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge, where Antonio Conte and Thomas Tuchel's final-whistle fracas told the story of the day.

However, Spurs managed to secure a rare Stamford Bridge triumph - just their second in Premier League history - in their most recent meeting in October 2026, with a late Chelsea collapse, featuring a Mike Penders own-goal, Cole Palmer red card and a superb solo goal from Mathys Tel all occurring in the final 13 minutes, culminating in a 2-0 victory for the Lilywhites.

Palmer's red card is one of many in this meeting, with frustrations boiling over between Tottenham and Chelsea certainly nothing new; the unforgettable 'Battle of the Bridge' in 2016 saw the Blues end Spurs' fleeting title chances in a 2-2 stalemate, sparking a massive post-match melee in which Tottenham received a staggering nine yellow cards.

The two London rivals have also clashed in a few high-profile cup contests, notably the 2007-08 EFL Cup final - Tottenham's most recent major trophy win - the 2014-15 showpiece match in the same tournament, which the Blues won, and the 2016-17 FA Cup semi-finals, a 4-2 triumph for Chelsea.

No Chelsea player enjoyed facing Tottenham more than Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who boasts a record 12 goals in this head-to-head, while ex-Spurs winger Cliff Jones and Bobby Smith - who represented both teams - struck 11 each in this particular fixture.
