For both Chelsea and Tottenham, it was a bad weekend in the Premier League. Spurs were beaten by Leeds United at Elland Road, while Chelsea also lost – but who will finish higher?

Chelsea have now lost three of their last four games, including a penalty shootout defeat in the Carabao Cup to Liverpool, as well as the 2-0 home defeat to Spurs. Chelsea are still higher in the Premier League.

After just 10 Premier League games, Chelsea have 16 points from 10 games and sit in fifth. Tottenham, meanwhile, are way down in 12th position after Leeds ended their winning run in Yorkshire on Saturday.

Joe Cole predicts who will finish higher in the Premier League

Even though a quarter of the Premier League has been completed, the table still presents some surprises. Manchester United are in the relegation zone, while Brighton have overtaken Man City into second place.

There is a hint that this season could be the craziest yet, aside from a potential points deduction for City. On the Dressing Room podcast, Wayne Bridge asked Joe Cole who will finish higher: Spurs or Chelsea?

Cole replied: “Oh no, they won’t do that. Doesn’t matter how hungover I am. I’ve had a bad week; I’ve dived into a couple of tackles. It has been 40 years; Spurs go to Chelsea and get their bum smacked.

“Then they played so well. I interviewed De Zerbi at Brighton; I really liked him. I came away from Brighton thinking, you’ve got something. There are so many teams like Spurs and Chelsea in that same bracket.

“You don’t know what you’re going to get from them. When you watch Arsenal, you know what you’ll get. Man City, despite the bad run, you know what you’ll get. Spurs are in the same boat as Chelsea,” he said.

Where does Opta predict Chelsea and Tottenham will finish?

Seven places and four points separate the two sides at the moment. Come the end of the season, the points might not be very different, but it is easy to imagine the two sides being closer in the table.

Opta’s Supercomputer uses the stats from this season to predict where a team will finish. They think Chelsea will finish in fifth place, staying where they are and accumulating a total of 58 points come May.

However, they think Spurs will clock up 50 points at the end of the season, but will only reach 11th position. Given the run of three wins before Leeds, many fans project Spurs to finish higher than 11th.

Both sides will have a much clearer picture when they meet for a second time this season, in North London. Chelsea go to Spurs on May 8, in the fourth-last round of Premier League fixtures.
