Memories go back to the Battle of the Bridge in 2016, when Chelsea ended Tottenham&#8217;s title hopes &#8212; a game that saw 12 yellow cards shown, including nine for Spurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attwell is one of the more-used referees in the Premier League this season, with this set to be his 25th match. It will be the third time he has refereed Chelsea this season, and his fourth Tottenham match in charge &#8212; and neither side have won any of their games with Attwell in the middle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aside from keeping Tottenham in the relegation battle, Chelsea will be looking to boost their chances of a European spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-yoast-seo-table-of-contents yoast-table-of-contents\"><h2>Jump to:<\/h2><ul><li><a href=\"#h-stuart-attwell-s-chelsea-record\" data-level=\"2\">Stuart Attwell&#8217;s Chelsea record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-stuart-attwell-s-tottenham-record\" data-level=\"2\">Stuart Attwell&#8217;s Tottenham record<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#h-what-should-we-expect-from-stuart-attwell\" data-level=\"2\">What should we expect from Stuart Attwell?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stuart-attwell-s-chelsea-record\">Stuart Attwell&#8217;s Chelsea record<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attwell has refereed Chelsea 27 times during his career, and the Blues don&#8217;t have a good record with him in the middle. They&#8217;ve won seven and lost seven, with 13 draws and are winless in their past three games when Attwell has refereed. Of course, that has also been during their generally poor period. Attwell has awarded Chelsea four penalties and only given two against them. He has sent off two Chelsea players, and three opponents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Category<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Matches<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">27<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">13<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">32<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Penalties per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.15<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yellow cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">2.22<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Red cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.07<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-when-stuart-attwell-last-refereed-chelsea\">What happened when Stuart Attwell last refereed Chelsea?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attwell was a busy man in his last Chelsea game, their 2-1 home defeat to Aston Villa in December. He booked eight players in total, including five Blues stars. Enzo Fernandez was booked for dissent and Reece James for arguing, alongside three cautioned for fouls. Moises Caicedo and Liam Delap were booked within seconds of each other too, for two fouls in the same move. <\/p>\n\n\n<hr \/>\r\n<h2><strong>Bet \u00a310 &amp; Get \u00a330 in Free Bets with Bet365<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n<p>Not signed up to bet365 yet?

Spurs have won 16 of those games, only losing five alongside five draws. But they too are winless in their past three games in which Attwell has refereed. Again, that&#8217;s coincided with their poor form rather than anything Attwell has down. Across his career Attwell has only given one penalty in a Tottenham game &#8212; to Spurs &#8212; and one red card, to an opponent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Category<\/th><th class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Total<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Matches<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">26<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Wins<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">16<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Draws<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Defeats<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">League points<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">40<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Penalties per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0.04<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Yellow cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">1.85<\/td><\/tr><tr><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">Red cards per game<\/td><td class=\"has-text-align-center\" data-align=\"center\">0<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happened-when-stuart-attwell-last-refereed-tottenham\">What happened when Stuart Attwell last refereed Tottenham?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attwell was the man in the middle for Tottenham&#8217;s 2-2 draw with Brighton and Albion last month. He showed four yellow cards, with three for Tottenham. But one of those bookings went to Xavi Simons for taking his shirt off celebrating what he thought was the match-winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-should-we-expect-from-stuart-attwell\">What should we expect from Stuart Attwell?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There could be another Battle of the Bridge on the cards, in terms of emotions and cards. Attwell is the harshest referee in the Premier League this season, averaging 4.6 cards per game &#8212; the most of any official with at least five matches refereed. He also only averages 4.5 fouls per card shown, letting very little go. Attwell has awarded a league-high eight penalties too. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/premier-league\/\"><strong>Premier League predictions &amp; tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/premier-league-title-odds\/\"><strong>Premier League outright odds <\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/news\/\"><strong>Latest football news<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best betting sites<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/betting-sites\/best-free-bet-offers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Best free bet offers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/bet\/football-tips\/accumulator\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Football accumulator tips<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea host Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on Tuesday at 8:15pm, with Stuart Attwell set to referee.
