The rivalry between the Blues and Tottenham is a notable London derby rooted in half a century of clashes and contrasting fortunes. The heated era spiked in the 1970s with tough relegation fights, including a Spurs 2-0 Chelsea that contributed to Chelsea’s relegation. It flared again with the 2015 League Cup final win for Chelsea and the 2016 “Battle of Stamford Bridge”. In recent years, the clash has featured title chases and memorable cup moments, including early 2017 meetings that interrupted winning runs.
