Chelsea face Tottenham Hotspur on the road in today’s Premier League clash. The Blues will be aiming to return to winning ways in order to keep their slim Champions League hopes alive.
Predicted Line-up:
Kepa Arrizabalaga is expected to start between the sticks. The Spaniard has improved as the season has progressed. He has no opposition at the moment with Edouard Mendy nursing a fractured finger.
In front of him, there could be a couple of changes. Reece James and Thiago Silva were rested altogether in the Southampton loss. They should return to the XI in the places of Cesar Azpilicueta and Kalidou Koulibaly.
Benoit Badiashile and Ben Chilwell should make up the rest of the defence. In midfield, Enzo Fernandes has been ever-present since his January move and he could have a new partner in the form of Denis Zakaria today.
In attack, Kai Havertz should replace David Datro Fofana up front while Noni Madueke could make way for Raheem Sterling on the right wing. Joao Felix and Mason Mount should continue in the number 10 and left wing roles respectively.
Predicted Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; James, Silva, Badiashile, Chilwell; Fernandez, Zakaria; Sterling, Felix, Mount; Havertz.
