Harry Kane
The London derby is just one of the tasty matches on a Super Sunday in the English Premier League while most London derbies have seen Chelsea the team on top of the table and Spurs chasing them around, it is a different story this season as Tottenham have been the better team for all of this season.
Tottenham sit fifth in the table and are 10 points ahead of their London rivals. Spurs will remember the last match played against Chelsea, which they won 5-3 last season. Chelsea will be looking to continue their mini-revival as they have won back to back games and will be looking to make it two wins in a row in the league.
Spurs though have had to play in the Europa League on Thursday and we will have to see whether that makes any difference in their play on Sunday. Tottenham have the longest unbeaten run in the league, not having lost since opening day.
Both teams would be hoping for the win and we look ahead to this tasty encounter, which always guarantees goals and list out the three key battles from the game.
Harry Kane vs. Diego Costa
Last season both players were firing goals from all over the park but this season it hasn’t been the same, Harry Kane has finally found his shooting boots for Tottenham in recent weeks, Diego Costa isn’t scoring all that regularly.
The Spaniard did score against Norwich in the last Premier League game, but Harry Kane has scored seven goals in his last four Premier League games and was on target in Europe as well. Costa would bring in the street fighter kind of football that unfortunately he is known for, but Harry Kane would bring in the hard work and movement that has seen him score a ton of goals.
The striker that plays to their strength just might give his team the three points on Sunday.
Eric Dier vs. Nemanja Matic

Tottenham fans would be disappointed to know that Dele Alli would not be taking to the pitch as he serves a one-match ban for picking up too many yellow cards in the season, he has been one of the best players this season and a breath of fresh air. His partner in the middle of the pitch hasn’t done that bad as well and Eric Dier’s shift to central midfield is paying dividends.
Cue to his opposite number or player, Nemanja Matic was the tough tackler who was at the centre of all that was great about Chelsea last season, well one of the things but this season has been a struggle for him and going up against Dier could be a tasty affair for enthusiasts of the gritty side of the game.
Christian Eriksen vs. Willian
Willian
Harry Kane and Dele Alli might be hogging the limelight, but Eriksen has been doing his bit for Tottenham this season as well. The Dane was one of the bright sparks last season and is continuing his performances for the London team this year. Eriksen is one of the brightest attackers for Tottenham and he would need to be at his best if Spurs are to get the three points.
Last season we would have compared Eriksen with Hazard, but the Belgian has gone completely missing this season, but his workload has been taken up by Willian, who is a threat from dead ball situations as well. Willian’s hard work is now being accentuated by the important goals he is scoring for the Blues and the Brazilian could well have a big part to play in this game.
WWE wrestler Chelsea Green enjoyed the full Chelsea experience when she was the guest of honour at Stamford Bridge against Brentford last month. The former two time and inaugural WWE Women’s United States Champion made her first trip to the stadium to watch the Blues beat the Bees 2-0.
The 34 year old watched on from the Dugout Club as Liam Rosenior’s men secured victory after goals from Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer. Green, who has Chelsea roots in her family with her mother and extended family being British, also sent a congratulatory message to the west London outfit on Instagram following the Club World Cup triumph last summer.
Dove in Headfirst as Chelsea Fans Do
The former AAA World Mixed Tag Team Champion told talkSPORT, “I had the best time, I drank lots of champagne, I got a jersey. I really just like dove in headfirst as the Chelsea fans do.”
Green, who joined talkSPORT as part of WWE 2K26 Creator Fest, was speaking to ex Chelsea star Tony Cascarino on Weekend Breakfast. However, she broke the 63 year old’s heart by admitting she would not don his retro kit after being gifted a shirt by Blues ace Marc Cucurella.
I’m a Kuk’s Girl Right Now
On the prospect of wearing a Cascarino kit, Green replied: “I don’t think so. I feel like, I’m sorry, but I feel like I’m a Kuk’s girl right now.” This is brilliant loyalty from Green, who clearly understands the importance of supporting current players over legends from the past.
Chelsea Fan for Life
Green recently opened up on her connection with Chelsea that goes far beyond simply sharing a name. “I’ve been a Chelsea fan for life. My grandparents are British, my mum is British, my cousins and uncle are here, and I also lived in Devon when I was seven and eight years old,” she told the Blues’ website.
The Canadian born wrestler was gifted a custom Chelsea FC belt and a Cucurella shirt during her memorable first visit to Stamford Bridge.
Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday in what could prove decisive for the Gunners’ Premier League title ambitions. Arsenal sit top of the table with 61 points from 28 matches, five points clear of Manchester City, who still have a game in hand, while Chelsea occupy 7th with 45 points after being held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Burnley at Stamford Bridge last weekend.
This represents a huge opportunity for Mikel Arteta’s side to put further distance between themselves and the chasing pack before facing Brighton away on Wednesday. Chelsea arrive at the Emirates in patchy form under Liam Rosenior, who has won just two of his eight league matches since replacing Enzo Maresca in January despite an encouraging start to his tenure.
Kick-off: 4:30 GMT, Sunday, March 1, 2026
Venue: Emirates Stadium
TV: Sky Sports
Kai Havertz Returns to Haunt Former Club
Mikel Arteta confirmed on Friday that Kai Havertz will train on Saturday ahead of the Chelsea clash, giving the German a chance to feature against his former employers. Havertz has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since early February, but scored the winner in Arsenal’s 1-0 Carabao Cup semi final victory over Chelsea earlier this month.
The 26 year old has endured a nightmare campaign with injuries limiting him to just 158 Premier League minutes this season, though he has still managed two goals and two assists when available. Viktor Gyokeres has flourished in Havertz’s absence, scoring twice in the 4-1 North London Derby demolition of Tottenham last weekend.
Rosenior Yet to Face Top Six Opposition
Liam Rosenior faces his first test against a top six side in the league since taking charge of Chelsea, having only faced teams sitting 7th or lower during his opening eight matches. His winning run needs proper context, given the quality of opposition, with recent dropped points against Leeds and Burnley at Stamford Bridge exposing serious vulnerabilities.
Arteta has beaten Rosenior twice already this season in the two legged Carabao Cup semi final, and the Spanish manager will fancy his chances of completing a treble over the Chelsea boss. Bukayo Saka should be fit despite limping off late against Spurs, while Ben White remains doubtful with a niggle.
Predicted Lineups: Arsenal (4-3-3): Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Timber; Rice, Zubimendi, Odegaard; Saka, Gyokeres, Eze
Chelsea (4-2-3-1): Sanchez; James, Disasi, Colwill, Cucurella; Fernandez, Caicedo; Madueke, Palmer, Mudryk; Jackson

Chelsea FC Women Appoint New Sporting Director as Club Fill Power Vacuum Left by Paul Green Departure Earlier This Month
Chelsea FC Women have appointed Phil Radley as their new sporting director following the departure of long time general manager Paul Green earlier this month. The club has moved quickly to fill the power vacuum at the top of their women’s football organization with Radley set to start in his new role next month.
Radley had spent most of the past decade at Danish Super League club FC Nordsjælland, initially as legal counsel before becoming chief operating officer and, most recently, director of football. He stepped down at the start of this season and had been taking a break from the game for the last six months.
Looking Forward to the Challenge
“I am looking forward to the challenge of how we build on the already brilliant club Chelsea FC Women is, both in terms of today and what the club needs in the long term, and working with Sonia, the players and staff,” Radley stated after his appointment was confirmed.
The new sporting director added: “I know the ambition the club has, the huge ambition Sonia and this squad has and the winning mentality Sonia sees in the squad. I absolutely share that and can’t wait to get started on the road to greater success.”
Green’s Departure Caused Upheaval
Paul Green’s exit earlier this month came after 13 years at the club, during which Chelsea Women won 19 trophies. His departure followed a review that concluded fresh structure was needed following Emma Hayes’ exit to the United States.
Many expected Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart from the men’s side to step into the void, but Chelsea has instead opted to bring in an external appointment. Radley brings significant experience from his time in Denmark and will be tasked with maintaining Chelsea’s position as one of the top clubs in women’s football.
Chelsea face Arsenal in the Champions League quarterfinals next month in what promises to be a huge tie for both clubs.
