Mauricio Pochettino's side controlled ownership for quite a bit of Sunday's match however were not able transform it into objectives in a challenge which starkly differentiated Tottenham's 5-3 win in last season's comparing installation.
Jose Mourinho's choice to drop Diego Costa walked out on him ailing in assault, with a tradable front four - led by Eden Hazard - just debilitating on the break.
John Terry was missing because of harm for Chelsea, and his vicinity was rapidly felt as Harry Kane constrained Asmir Begovic into a couple of right on time spares.
Chelsea developed into the diversion yet did not test Hugo Lloris until the 68th moment, when the Frenchman denied Hazard with an astounding stop.
Neither one of the goalkeepers was to beaten before the last shriek, walking out on Mourinho fourteenth in the table with one win in their last five Premier League matches.
Tottenham - who rolled out one improvement with Ryan Mason supplanting the suspended Dele Alli - connected the early weight and Begovic demonstrated fortitude and expertise to twice deny Kane, first at the striker's feet before taking two endeavors to hold a capable, avoided drive.
Mourinho's men started to make better open doors and, after Hazard sent a header off target, Pedro let go a swerving strike from 20 yards over the crossbar.
Tottenham kept on getting a charge out of the dominant part of ownership, despite the fact that Son Heung-min was not able make the most of it when he coordinated a free header directly at Begovic with 27 minutes played and the Bosnian was constrained into further activity before long, jumping low to one side to turn Mousa Dembele's slipping 25-yard hit around the post.
The nonappearance of a perceived striker implied Chelsea did not have an objective inside the case, with Oscar's shank into the side mesh guaranteeing they finished the half without a shot on target.
Kurt Zouma barely passed up a major opportunity for a straightforward completion from a Willian free-kick ahead of schedule in a brief moment period that saw few possibilities.
Not long after the hour, Son gave an assaulting infusion by means of an one-two with Erik Lamela - on set up of the harmed Mason - however his shot was sent directly at Begovic.
It was an uncommon chance for Tottenham in the second half, and with 68 minutes gone they required a fine spare from Lloris stop Hazard discovering the net with a stunningly executed volley.
Chelsea withdrew further in the last stages and hoped to break at pace, however Pedro again neglected to test the resistance guardian with a wayward strike from the edge of the territory.
Costa stayed on the seat notwithstanding Chelsea's requirement for an objective, and discarded his substitutes' tucker in repugnance in stoppage time when Ruben Loftus-Cheek developed as Mourinho's last change to top yet another baffling trip for the champions.
