According to a report by The Chelsea Chronicles published on Friday, October 23, 2026, Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo is expected to pose a major threat to Tottenham Hotspur when the two London rivals meet at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. The Ecuadorian international has maintained an outstanding record against Spurs, making him one of the players Tottenham must watch closely in the upcoming Premier League encounter.

Caicedo’s return from injury has strengthened Chelsea’s midfield and provided manager Xabi Alonso with a significant boost ahead of the derby. His availability has coincided with improved defensive performances, as Chelsea have conceded just two goals in the two matches he has started since returning. The Blues also kept a clean sheet against Everton last weekend, ending their nine-month wait for one.

Since joining Chelsea from Brighton in 2023, Caicedo has faced Tottenham six times and won every encounter. His impressive record against the North London side highlights his importance to Chelsea and presents another challenge for Spurs as they seek a positive result.

One of Caicedo’s memorable victories against Tottenham came during the 2023/24 season, when Chelsea secured a convincing 4-1 win away from home. Although the midfielder had a goal disallowed, his teammates recovered from an early setback to claim an important victory. Tottenham’s disciplinary difficulties, which resulted in two red cards, helped Chelsea take control of the contest.

Caicedo also impressed during Chelsea’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Tottenham in the 2024/25 campaign. Despite being deployed at right-back instead of his usual midfield position, the Ecuadorian demonstrated his defensive awareness, technical ability and tactical flexibility.

According to Sofascore, Caicedo won both tackles he attempted, made two interceptions and completed one clearance during the encounter. He also won five ground duels and two aerial challenges without allowing an opponent to dribble past him.

His contribution was equally impressive in possession. The midfielder completed 44 of his 49 attempted passes, recording a 90 per cent success rate. He also successfully completed his attempted cross and dribble, demonstrating his ability to contribute to Chelsea’s attacking play while maintaining his defensive responsibilities.

Chelsea will hope Caicedo continues his impressive performances when they host Tottenham on Saturday. The Blues have shown encouraging signs recently, while Spurs head into the fixture after defeating Coventry City 3-1 on Monday.

Tottenham must find a way to limit Caicedo’s influence if they hope to end his perfect winning record against them. His defensive intelligence, passing accuracy and versatility could prove crucial as both sides prepare for another competitive London derby.
