Alan Shearer and Harry Redknapp disagree on Tottenham vs Chelsea score prediction

Tottenham and Chelsea go head to head at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday with both sides keen to get one over on their London rivals. Spurs know a win in north London would propel them into second place, while the Blues could move up into the top four should results go their way.

Chelsea have won the last four meetings between the sides and Thomas Frank's men will want to put that right this time around. Both sides have struggled for consistency, however, and it should make for an interesting game.

Alan Shearer is predicting both sides to come away with a point. Speaking to Betfair the Premier League legend said: "This game is always a tough one to call, always a bit of spice, always really interesting, and always chucks up some incidents. 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.

"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."

Harry Redknapp, meanwhile, disagrees with Shearer and believes Tottenham will have enough to come away with all three points. Redknapp told football betting site BetVictor: "What a game this is, and what a hard one to predict!

"Spurs had been a little bit out of form but that was a very impressive win away to Everton and that should give them a real lift. A win here would be massive for them and add to what’s been a good start for Thomas Frank.

"As for Chelsea, I just can’t make my mind up on them! A couple of weeks ago, they beat Liverpool and that felt like a big moment for them, and they go and lose to Sunderland at home last time out. Another defeat here and there could be a bit of pressure on the players and of course, the gaffer. I’m picking Spurs, they just seem to be in a better place to me."

After predicting Spurs to win 2-1, Redknapp was asked for his player to watch. He said: "I’m not expecting him to score two again, but what a top player [Micky] van de Ven is and when he’s at his best, Spurs are a very good side."
