According to a report by The Chelsea Chronicles on Friday October 23, 2026, when the two London rivals meet on Saturday at Stamford Bridge, Tottenham Hotspur's midfielder Moises Caicedo—an Ecuadorian with an impressive record against Spurs—will pose a significant threat.

Upon his return from injury, the midfielder instantly became a key cog in Chelsea's midfield machine. In light of his team's recent promising play, manager Xabi Alonso will be getting a huge boost from his availability for this crucial Premier League derby.

In Caicedo's two starts for Chelsea since his return, the Blues have allowed just two goals. They finally got their first clean sheet in nine months last weekend against Everton.

Caicedo has won all six meetings with Tottenham since joining Chelsea in 2023 from Brighton. The Spurs will need to keep a close eye on him this weekend because of his impressive record.

During the 2023–24 season, he scored his first goal as Chelsea beat Tottenham 4-1 at their stadium. Despite Caicedo's goal being disallowed, his teammates rallied from behind to earn a remarkable victory.

Chelsea were able to gain control of the match after receiving two red cards, which Tottenham did not receive. Thanks to their numerical advantage, the Blues were able to secure a crucial away win over their London rivals.

Following their recent upturn in form, Chelsea will be looking to further cement their dominance on Saturday. Tottenham, on the other hand, have been inconsistent so far this season, despite Monday's 3-1 win over Coventry City.

Caicedo, who played right back for Chelsea in the 2024–25 season, was impressive in the team's exciting 4–3 win over Tottenham. He proved once again why the Blues value him as a player by showcasing his versatility.

The Ecuadorian player had two interceptions, one clearance, and won both tackle attempts, per Sofascore. He was untouchable in two aerial challenges and five ground duels.

His passing was just as remarkable, with a 90% success rate (44 out of 49 attempts). He was an integral part of Chelsea's victory that day, and he even managed to finish off his attempted cross and dribble.

Caicedo is an asset to any team that uses him because of his defensive acumen, technical skill, and versatility. On Saturday, Tottenham must limit his influence if they want to break his unbeaten streak against Chelsea.
